The Americans Came
Last Updated August 6, 2024.
Based on diaries kept by the author and her husband, "Dangerous Spring" is an extraordinary success on two-interdependent levels, fiction and document. The story is well-constructed and minutely controlled…. [The] documentation strikingly reveals that, behind the solid mass of German national guilt, there were conscientious and distressed individuals. (p. 18)
