|title=Wolfram: The Boy Who Went To War
|author=Giles Milton
|reviewer=Sue Magee
|genre=Biography
|summary=A book which overturns all the cliches about WWII. Forget that it's a man writing about his father-in-law and absorb what it was like for normal (not Jewish, not the battlefield heroes) Germans in the thirties and forties. Highly recommended. Giles was kind enought to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To Giles Milton|talk to us]] about the book.

I'd be more than happy to give this book to a pre-teen. It's factual and not overly gory, but it's also a book which is deeply interesting to any adult who needs to know both sides of a story. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
For another look at a family with a German history we can recommend [[The Perfect Nazi: Uncovering My SS Grandfather's Secret Past and How Hitler Seduced a Generation by Martin Davidson]] and [[The German War by Nicholas Stargardt]]. However, I've recently read and enjoyed the fictional [[The English German Girl by Jake Wallis Simons]]. I think you might appreciate it too.
