Of Another Time and Place Kindle Edition

While on a brief leave home from the deadly skies of World War II, a decorated German flying ace must decide between conscience and country when his courageous fiancé reveals her potentially deadly secret she's been keeping right under the nose of the SS.

She wondered if he was the man she was searching for. How many men after all could have that name, and be both a retired musician and a former Luftwaffe ace? She had so many unanswered questions. How would he explain the violence, the many deaths by his own hand? How had he survived when so many of his comrades perished under the guns of the Allied air armadas? And most important, had this man somehow found redemption? Or was he just another grizzled old Nazi living out his last days in undeserved anonymity, still unrepentant for the horrors his people inflicted upon the world, and her people in particular.

Rachael Azerod, a New York reporter, flies to London to interview Harmon Becker, the former German WW II hero whom Hitler himself awarded the highest honors—but she has her own reasons for meeting. Was he just a soldier? Or did he do something so astounding that not even he was willing to remember it…until now.

Of Another Time and Place is a novel about love, redemption, and two young lovers separated by war and desperate to survive the unparalleled violence consuming their war-torn nation. It is the story of a country gone astray, mesmerized by their mad Fuehrer, and the artist-turned-warrior and his courageous bride who vow to break his spell and make a difference, even it if means dangling at end of a Nazi rope.

A worthy addition to the pantheon of beloved war novels from A Farewell to Arms to All Quiet on the Western Front, Brad Schaeffer’s gripping story draws the reader into the very heart of the conflagration that was the Second World War. He takes the reader deep into the conflicts that raged not only in the skies over Germany, but within the hearts of combatants and non-combatants alike who found themselves trying to maintain their humanity when all decency seemed to have abandoned the happy lives they once knew.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I love Brad Schaeffer's writing, and Of Another Time and Place is no exception. Buy it and read it. You won't be disappointed." -- Ben Shapiro, best-selling author, editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of The Ben Shapiro Show

"Schaeffer's Of Another Time and Place brilliantly weaves a modern-day mystery with stirring depictions of aerial combat in World War II, while deftly addressing the moral issues raised by that war. This first novel clearly vaults Schaeffer into the ranks of accomplished storytellers whose next novels are anxiously awaited by his legion of fans, of which I am now one." -- Eric L. Harry, author of the series Pandora: Outbreak

I really enjoyed reading "of Another Time and Place". I love historical fiction, especially WWII. Different perspective being narrated from a conflicted Lutfwaffe pilot. Probably more realistic describing common "volk" and peoples attitudes during 1920's-1940's Germany as the country went through seismic shifts. Author took the time to develop the characters so they would be relatable. Good story!

Superb story about a WWII German ace who comes to recognize the horrors of Nazism in the middle of the war. A love story, a tale of desperate escape from the heart of evil. Lyrically written. Finally it’s a page turning inspirational story of good conquering man’s darker side.

This could be made into a terrific movie but it hasn’t been optioned to the best of my knowledge. I guess it isn’t the kind of story Hollywood wants to tell anymore.

This book is simply outstanding. I could barely put it down, but I admit I tried to read it slowly so as to enjoy every paragraph. It is a great read from start to finish and guaranteed to leave you in tears. Brad Schaeffer knows the value of military history, and this novel brings to life a few individuals who lived through the Nazi horrors on the German side of the battle lines during WWII. It is as terrific as The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah proved itself in telling of the struggle of French women during the Nazi occupation (which you ought to also read). You won't be sorry you bought this book.

This is the story of a true patriot, Harmon Becker, whose humanity raises him above the tide of fascism that engulfs his country. Good people were swept into the wrong side of a terrible conflict, and some of those risked their lives to save the innocents.

I found this book on my ‘recommendations’ list and, after reading a sample of it, purchased it. It’s an excellent work of historical fiction on WW2, told from a German viewpoint. It alternates between two time periods and is a riveting read from start to finish. I highly recommend it.
