Allegiance Divisible

About this book

An American, fighting for the German Army, captured in Russia. It is 1909. A German family immigrates to America and moves to Milwaukee. They struggle with the racial and cultural climate of the day. The Maiers reason that their sons should go back to the Fatherland, to keep true to their Germanic roots. Soon the Maier boys learn that Germany has its own story, and calls its sons back to the nation for war and conquest. What follows is the rallying call of nationalism, the division of loyalty, and the oath of a soldier. This is a story of an American; a German immigrant who decided that his loyalties lay with his race over his nation. When captured by the Russians outside of Leningrad, his loyalties are called into question as he struggles with escape and coming to terms with the end of the Third Reich.
