“Despite That, Erik Sent Home A Large Slice Of His Army Pay, Knowing His Parents Would Be Cold And Hungry If He Did Not. He Hated Their Politics, But He Loved Them.

She Was Now Training As A Nurse, A Much More Appropriate Role For A German Girl. And She, Too, Was Supporting Their Parents With Her Meager Pay.”
