Book Beat – Friends and Enemies

In Nazi Germany, recent war widow Heidi Wetzel heads to the countryside to avoid Allied bombings and to help her friends with refugee children. However, a fervent Gestapo agent keeps his eye on Heidi due to her years spent in America.

Lt. Paul Braedel serves as a navigator on a B-17 Flying Fortress based in England. When his bomber is shot down over Germany, he can only think of one solution—find Heidi, his high school friend. But harboring Paul could bring danger to Heidi, her friends, and the children.

Brimming with excellent research, Friends and Enemies by Terri Wangard gives an interesting look into life in Nazi Germany and the experiences of B-17 bomber crewmen. World War II fiction buffs will truly enjoy this story!
