Sei also ohne Sorge, Liebling cover

Text in German. Lilo and Ernst get to know each other during the country year in 1935 and fall in love. They make plans for the future, move in together and finally get married. Both are convinced of National Socialism and its values. Then the war breaks out and Ernst is drafted. They write letters to each other that show with an incomparable intensity the clash of their personal dreams with the political and military realities of the Third Reich. Seventy years later, her daughter Heinke deciphered the letters written in Sütterlin and asked the next generation: What did her parents know? Why did they believe in Hitler? The book is not an indictment against the parents. Rather, it is a painful argument and a historical analysis of one's own family history in the Third Reich.
