Word War II and the final
collapse of Hitler's Nazi Empire form the backdrop to this controversial piece. Otto Krueger, a confused National
Socialist, enlists into the Waffen SS, and discovers the lies behind their propagandized ideology. A stunning accomplishment
of war realism, it never stoops to conventional descriptions of atrocities, but reveals the true barbarity of war and its
theft of innocence.
About the Author:
A tenure with the United States Army as a Cavalry Scout and a discharge, prompted Travis to write a novel about the military
experience from the viewpoint of a Christian under an extreme nationalistic regime. His indepth character
study and imaginative settings, draw the reader into a realistic world which is both harsh and crisp in its unbiased portrayal,
leaving them with a respect for his creativity. Before the novelist approaches writing a story, he weeds through ideas to
find a controversial theme backed with substantial evidence to support its credibility. Fleeing the Children's
Crusade was created after extensive research and psychological character study into the mindset of Waffen SS soldiers
fighting during World War II. From indepth reading of veteran accounts a manuscript was brought to its completion.
He is both a prolific reader and writer, having in his collection of books some of the most notable of 19th century authors.
He is also a very charitable individual, committing his time after work to help the poor find shelter and food and also donating
his money to help with their living expenses.
