Description

The past due Hans-Georg Neumann, through his memoirs, has brought alive the history, the culture and the brutal tragedy of 20th-century Germany. Whilst serving below General Erwin Rommel in 1941 as a signals officer, Hans-Georg used to be captured. Months of confinement in barbed-wire cages in Egypt and South Africa were followed by his eventual imprisonment in a former tuberculosis sanatorium at Gravenhurst, Ontario. Most effective the presence of a good Canadian Commandant and his own energy saved his integrity and humanity. With a soldier’s self-control and a farm boy’s instinct, Neumann and his fellow prisoners created a farm that fed the camp and nourished their souls.

The creator’s story covers his go back to Canada in 1950, this time within the company of his bride, Irm, and his subsequent commitment to Canada, his chosen country.

Both distinguished Canadian historian Desmond Morton and Professor Emeritus Rosamond Vanderburgh, believing Neumann’s story to be a compelling addition to wartime history, collaborated with the creator within the preparation of his manuscript.
