From the back cover:
"With the German defeat in view, following the Normandy invasion in September 1944, the young Wehrmacht infantryman Erich Kauff refuses to sacrifice his life for the continuing senseless slaughter. He takes a desperate gamble and deserts from his combat unit in Holland. With forged papers in his pocket and a death sentence hanging  over his head, Kauff must make his way across Nazi Germany to his parents' home in Vienna, in hopes of hiding until the Allies liberate Europe.
But the war drags on, seemingly without end. His very presence endangers the lives of family and friends. Again, he must flee for his life, avoiding a tightly drawn web of patrols and informers. His last hope is to swim the Rhine, to cross the border into Switzerland and freedom - before he is captured and killed..."
"Anton Fuchs, born in Vienna in 1920 and now residing in Klagenfürt, relies heavily on his own wartime experiences as a young soldier following the Anschluss. He served in the Wehrmacht and was wounded twice."
