Renate’s JourneyRenate Weiss is running for her life. War’s end has caught her in north-east Germany, deep in territory threatened by the Russian armies and home is near Heidelberg, hundreds of miles to the south and west. She meets Anna, and then, as the two women cross the Harz Mountains, Günther, a German soldier who has been separated from his unit. Together, the three young people make their way foward, learning as weeks and months pass, the irreversible impact of unconditional surrender. Employment is scarce to nonexistent. Food is bought by barter. Their currency is inflated beyond anything but mandatory usage and American cigarettes have become the accepted medium of exchange. Old values are illegal yet the United States occupies Germany with a segregated army . . . ISBN: 978-1934246801
