The Deserter
Germany, April 1945. The Red Army has reached Berlin, hellbent on burying the Third Reich once and for all. 13-year-old Werner Otto Hoelscher, a young, blindly patriotic member of HJ-Bann 37, is perhaps a bit too eager to taste front-line combat for the first time, and to uphold his reputation in his troop, and to honour the memory of his late stepbrother--but this patriotism and zeal is put to the ultimate test after he is sent by his commanding officer on a suicide mission. As the battle takes an increasingly bloody turn, divisions among his closest friends deepen, and Werner must soon make a choice between the lives of his most cherished friends and loyalty to the ideological figureheads that had once nurtured and indoctrinated him, who now demands all to shed their last drops of blood in the final chapter of the world's deadliest and most destructive conflict. This is my first major project, and my biggest so far; I spent the last five years working on this. I'm anxious to bring this to Wattpad on its trial run. I hope you appreciate it!

Olivia never really paid any attention to the guys in school and she's never let herself fall in love. Ever. With college just months away, she had no interest in beginning a new relationship. Besides, she just wanted to enjoy her senior year with minimal distractions. Then her adoptive parents decide to foster an arrogant, irritating guy, who frustrated her to no end. But then tension, oh sweet tension, grows between them whenever the other is near. How is Olivia supposed to fight the inevitable if they live alone in the same house? How is she supposed to not become attached or fall for his cool, flirty, and sometimes reckless personality? Especially when they both forget about the rules. Tyler didn't expect anyone to want to foster him, but SGA was getting old anyway. With his father out of his life, it was time to finally live it without risking getting arrested for doing anything else illegal. Olivia wasn't supposed to become part of his world. How could she? With his past following him like his shadow... #8 quickbooks out of 5k+ #50 discover out of 11k+ ~~~~ Listen to it on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0B14NK2V4/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-308441&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_308441_rh_us Paperback on Amazon: http://hyperurl.co/r93gn4 Wattpad's version is a draft.

Those things which are precious are saved only by sacrifice." - Stephen E. Ambrose, Band of Brothers - * - * - * - War never changes, but who you fight alongside does. In 1942, Alice Klein left the French Maquis to assist the American's paratrooper corps. She lost everything to the Nazis when she left: her family, her country, and her friends. But she gained Easy Company. Alice and the rest of Easy Company have been through six long months of combat already. They've seen friends die. But they're about to enter the toughest months yet. December in Bastogne brings trench foot, artillery barrages, and snipers. It brings frostbite and stupid mistakes. And above all, D-Day + 193 brings death. As the war drags on, Alice must face hard truths about what it means to be a German Jew. Events from 1942 come to light which force her to rethink everything she knew about her family's fate. As it turned out, Germans were the first victims of the Nazi party. Thankfully, Alice doesn't have to face it alone. While some faces disappear forever, others become closer than she could have ever imagined. Because though war never changes, who you fight it with does. - * - * - * - Pairing: Lewis Nixon/OC BOOK TWO in [ A Tale of Two Heritages ] Start Date: March 24, 2020 End Date: May 11, 2020 Word Count: 139,901 Cross-posted to FFN and Ao3 - * - * - * - THIS CONTAINS realistic depictions of world war ii, realistic depictions of the holocaust, strong language, major character death, cigarette abuse, alcohol abuseComplete
