### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Riveting
*by M***E on April 1, 2025*

This true story, which most have not read, in incredible. It teaches one about hate, death, and ultimately forgiveness and the strength of God.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meticulously researched
*by C***B on February 3, 2020*

Meticulously researched. Never realized this happened in Russelsheim when I was a military policeman there in 1987/1988. Good read. I give it a 3.5. I would give it a 5 if it explored how the US Army, Azbill Barracks and the post war order played a role in Russelsheim for 50 years literall a few blocks away. The research that went into this book probably earns the text a 4.0, maybe higher, but the author used lots of verbiage that just didn't frame things in an unbiased manner. The facts of this book are researched very well, particularly the court portions. The first half of the book sets up the horror these young airmen experienced. The second half of the book lays out an amazing legal drama. A good read that if it tied everything together could have been a great read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great tragic story that all WWII history buffs should know about.
*by A***C on January 12, 2014*

This is the detailed account of how a German civilian mob descended upon a helpless POW US bomber crew and the horror of what happened. Freeman is a great writer and has done thorough research on the fate of each man and the German women and men of the frenzied mob who committed a murderous act so brutal that even the average SS man would cringe. The story is well developed and you get to know the crew of the WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAM. You also get to know the facts of what the German civilians of Ruesselsheim experienced in the previous nights RAF bombing to their city. "Bomber" Harris commander of the RAF bomber force sought to break the will of the Germans by indiscriminately fire bombing German cities each night. The will of the Ruesselheim population was not broken but in this horrifying documented episode the social fabric and moral order of a particular population of Germans unraveled and the animal rage that erupted resulted in a war crime almost too terrible to think about. But to honor the victims Freeman recreates with great exactitude the fate of these doomed airmen step by step as it unfolded. His account of the Dachau Trial of the Germans who committed the crime is in itself an important illustration of how we Americans melt out justice to the vanquished and I feel the military court was thorough and just. I highly recommend this to be read and it ought to be a movie.
