<p><b>The extraordinary true story of a Jewish teenager who escaped Nazi Germany for the UK, joined the British Army and returned to his homeland in order to liberate his parents from a concentration camp.</b><br><br><b>A deeply moving account of courage, tenacity, and an against-all-odds reunion.</b><br><br>Four days after Germany's surrender in May 1945, a young British officer named Freddy Gray takes a Jeep and heads East from the Netherlands into Germany. But this is no ordinary English soldier. Freddy's real name is Manfred, and he is travelling across what remains of his former homeland with one objective: to rescue his parents from a concentration camp.<br><br>As a boy Manfred was forced to flee the Holocaust, leaving his parents behind. As soon as he could he signed up to fight, serving in an elite British unit made up of German native speakers and joining the legendary British "Three Troop" in the D-Day Normandy landings.<br><br>Now, seven years after escaping from Nazi Germany, Manfred begins a relentless hunt for his lost family. He begins by helping to liberate his hometown, where his former home has been taken over by Nazis and the basement repurposed as a torture chamber. Then he travels through streams of refugees, overcomes Soviet military roadblocks, and crosses no-man's land before reaching his ultimate destination: Theresienstadt, the concentration camp where his parents were last seen.<br><br>There, incredibly, Manfred discovered his parents still alive. <i>I Will Come Back for You</i> tells his remarkable story.</p>

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Extraordinary . one of the most moving and uplifting stories of the war' Keith Lowe A gripping account of hidden identity, military courage, and an against-all-odds reunion. Four days after Germany's surrender in May 1945, a young British officer headed east into Germany. But this was no ordinary soldier. Manfred Gans was searching for his family. As a Jewish boy in Nazi Germany, he fled to England. Once he could, he enlisted, serving in the elite British 'Three Troop' unit, comprised of German-speaking refugees, and joined the D-Day landings. Working undercover, he gained vital intelligence, liberated occupied France and the Netherlands, and saved lives on both sides. Meanwhile, he dreamed of a reunion with his family trapped behind enemy lines, and with his childhood sweetheart, Anita. As the war ended, chaos reigned in Germany: defeated Wehrmacht soldiers faced columns of U.S. and British soldiers, concentration camp survivors encountered SS guards, and Soviet military roadblocks controlled the route east. Manfred overcame them all, finally reaching the place his parents were last seen: Theresienstadt . Translated by Rachel Stanyon A gripping account of hidden identity, military courage, and an against-all-odds reunion.
