Many years after the fatalities of my parents, my aunt handed me a pack filled with words that my dad had written to my mom over the period from 1940 to 1945. This was the starting point of a quest for me personally to rediscover the father I had hardly ever really known. This is actually the storyline of John Searancke's parents, advised mostly from the side of his father, Eddie Searancke, from the time of his contacting up in early 1940 to his release from a prisoner of warfare camp in Germany in 1945, thence his go back to England to try to pick up the bits of his old life. Nothing at all could ever be quite the same afterwards. The words take listeners through five captivating years, telling of the pros and cons, the plots and counterplots, as Eddie rose through the rates to end his warfare as a captain, increased to that get ranking in the field as his soldiers encountered the formidable might of the SS Panzers. The words also expose where his battle came to a abrupt end, in an orchard encircled by the foe and captured after a series of bloody skirmishes as the English army spearheaded its way from the beach locations of Normandy. The quest as a prisoner across France and Germany in a truck, with comrades dying each day, may be as hard to listen to as it is to tell, particularly when a new life and new severe rules needed to be learned and rigidly enforced in a jail camp in north Germany, the final destination. That is written as part memoir, part fictionalized retelling and partly in notice format; John pulls together all resources to recreate the five many years of warfare and hardship that the words span.
