Colin anson was born claus ascher in berlin and raised a protestant. He was forced to flee nazi germany because his father, curt ascher, was one of hitlers few serious political opponents during the 1930s. Curt stood up for his beliefs, was arrested by the gestapo, imprisoned at dachau and murdered there in 1937. In 1939, with his own life in danger, colin found refuge in britain, where he went on to join the british army. Selected for commando service, he trained with 3 troop, the only german-speaking unit in the british armed forces. He was attached to the royal marines and took part in the invasion of italy and sicily in 1943, surviving a near-fatal head wound, before participating in raids into yugoslavia and albania, and then in the liberation of corfu. At the end of the war, he was to find out who had betrayed his father, and the book includes an account of how he reacted to this discovery. Not only is german schoolboy, british commando a thrilling account of his valiant service in the second world war, its description of colins childhood as the son of one of hitlers most outspoken opponents provides a unique insight into the political maelstrom of 1930s germany. It is an extraordinary portrait of a sons bravery and determination, continuing his fathers legacy as he fought to defeat the nazis.
