Along with his assistant, Colby Fromage, they travel to Berlin where it doesn’t take long before they find a man willing to talk. When Klaus Sankt volunteers to share his story, Max and Colby are taken on a whirlwind tour into the darkness and treachery of the Nazi’s final solution. In 1936 London, Klaus Sankt is a new college student from Berlin; his roommate Darby Oakley is a vocal opinionated Brit studying political science. Despite their differences, Klaus and Darby become fast friends. When Klaus is suddenly enscripted into the Wehrmacht and forced to leave school early, their lives begin to change in ways they can’t imagine. They are reunited during the Berlin Olympics where they find female companionship, intrigue and loathing for the Nazi party. Something must be done but neither have any power to change the world. War comes too soon, placing these two friends and their countries in the middle of War World 2. With so much at stake and too much to lose, they both serve as patriots and warriors fighting the enemy at great peril. Finally, the time comes when Klaus Sankt and Darby Oakley meet again. Confronted with the hard truth of war that today someone is going to die can Klaus do his duty and kill Darby Oakley? Moreover Darby knows it's, “My Day to Die” and no one can change it. Is Klaus Sankt a war hero, a patriot or a ruthless war criminal? Is he telling the truth or covering his tracks? Did he kill to save his own life and who was he willing to sacrifice? Has Max Little found his war criminal or is Klaus Sankt all that he appears to be? The answers lie in the stories Klaus tells and in the lives of those who he didn’t kill.

As an American, I have always viewed WW2 as a clearly just war, where the Good Allies put down the Evil Axis Powers, who were bent on destroying an entire race and a biblical religion while imposing their will on a huge part of the world. The defeat of Hitler was necessary and urgent.Missionary and author Dan Byrum's new novel, My Day to Die adds depth the this WW2 narrative by telling the story of a German soldier who struggles with his faith and the justice of this war he's caught up in. When Klaus Sankt, a student at the University of London in the 1930s, gets a letter from his home country of Germany notifying of his conscription into the German army, he dutifully wraps up his studies and returns home. When he takes an oath to follow the commands of the Führer, Hitler, he sincerely does so. As he gradually becomes aware of the true evil agenda behind the German war machine, he struggles with doing what is right.Byrum chooses to tell the story as a series of flashbacks. A team of researchers from The Jewish Holocaust Justice Fund has turned up Sankt's name, and want to gather evidence to try him as a Nazi war criminal. He agreeably grants them an interview, which turns into a series of lengthy sessions during which he tells his story. They thought they had evidence that Sankt was a war criminal, who killed Jews and others at an infamous concentration camp. While that did turn out to be at least partially true, as they gathered Sankt's full story, they saw that the truth was much more complex.Byrum presents Sankt's story not to excuse the evils of the Nazi terror, but to personalize the struggles of Germans living under Nazi rule. Sankt's combat experience would be familiar to any soldier: the flag you're fighting under means less to a soldier than the men he's fighting next to. He took action in the battlefield and as a concentration camp guard that put his life and family at risk while defending innocent lives.As Sankt's story progresses, his paths cross again with his buddy from college days, and Englishman named Darby Oakley. Darby falls in love with one of Sankt's German friends. Their marriage provides additional complexity to the question of war and allegiance. When the enemy is your in-laws or your old college roommate, the fight takes on another dimension.In the course of the interviews, Sankt reflects on the choices he made as a soldier, a citizen, and, at times, a vigilante. "Where there is no law some men become lawless. Where there is lawlessness there is no restraint and when there is no restraint there is no way to stop a lawless man except by killing him so he can't hurt another." War time wreaks havoc on ethics. Powerful, insane dictators force innocent, moral people to face horrible dilemmas. Sankt's story is fictional, but it surely reflects the experiences of a large number of Germans during WW2 who were forced to find a way to live ethically under an unethical regime.(As a final note, I must point out that Dan has self-published My Day to Die. Readers will agree that he could have used a proofreader and editor. Even with the resulting "rough draft" feel of the text, the merits of the story outweigh other factors. It's definitely worth a read. Dan has a gift for a great story.)Thanks to the author for the complimentary electronic review copy!

My Day To Die A Great Book By L Colton After reading many WW ll books recently, and being American and German descent this book has been the absolute best. The human factors were remarkable as if the author really knew them,and exactly what they were going through. Even though the book really needed editing, I was sorry to have the story end. Definitely worth reading should be on best sellers list.

The story itself is worthy of 5 stars (perhaps more). The number of grammatical and other errors merits 1 star (perhaps less). No matter how frustrating the language, this is a novel worth reading. It is both entertaining and historically important.In the prologue, the reader is introduced to a German (Nazi) death camp in all its ugliness. The horror is understated, but it is still a powerful beginning.The overlay of the story is the hunt for German (read Nazi) war criminals. Investigators interview a former German soldier (Klaus Sankt) who has detailed and personal knowledge of the Holocaust years. Through a series of flashbacks, beginning in the 1930's, he tells his story, which is also the story of Germany in those years. Sankt is a mix: a Christian willing to share his faith, a person willing to help others even if it is personally dangerous, an instrument of the Nazi state to a degree, a brave soldier, and a dispenser of violent street justice against evil.The author is an excellent story teller. The narrative is richly detailed, a vivid portrayal of events. It is a tale of good and evil, but also a story about humanness. Characters are well defined and emotionally rich. Additionally, there is some rapid fire action.There is, however, a steady stream of grammatical errors, misspellings, and wrong word usage -- probably, all can be grouped together. In a few places, sentences are muddled. Everyone makes mistakes; but in this novel, there are a multitude on most pages. It is disruptive and annoying.Three notes:The forms of evil may be different, but the Holocaust is typical of organized evil. The Holocaust should be remembered because no one is immune to the venom of evil. We like to think we are, but we are not. Look at our own history of racial strife.The author seems to indicate that enlisted soldiers and lesser ranking officers and officials who participated in the Holocaust and the Nazi state are not guilty of crimes against humanity, that guilt belongs only at the highest levels. Not true; the crimes belong to all participants.I tend to use the word German rather than Nazi. From my research for my novel, which is both fantasy and in those sections dealing with Nazi Germany reality, I found to my satisfaction that the German people were complicit in mass murder of the Jews and others deemed undesirable. It may be that some mainstream Germans believed it went too far or did not know the full extent of the evil, but I have my doubts. Germans, I believe, knew what was happening. The Nazis were the instruments, but the whole nation bears the guilt because of the people's vehement anti-Semitism. Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, About Good and Evil.
