Wilhelm Jaeger, a World War II veteran, long refused to speak of his past—the memories were too traumatic and painful. But on her deathbed, his wife urged him to share his story with their descendants. “It is their heritage to know. Your story will bless their lives.” Wilhelm grew up on a farm in Fallersleben, Germany, shaped by conflicting voices: a father who condemned Hitler, a grandfather who praised him, and a mother who sought peace. At ten, he was forced to join the Hitler Youth. At seventeen, he was sent to war in his father’s place. Initially hesitant, Wilhelm hardened through basic training and combat on the Eastern Front. But as the war raged on, his faith in God deepened, even as he was swept into Hitler’s final gamble on the Western Front—the Battle of the Bulge. There, an untimely encounter with an American soldier on a ravaged battlefield altered the trajectory of his life forever. At last, Wilhelm Jaeger breaks his silence.
