About this listen
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 listener into the very heart of the conflagration that was the Second World War. He takes the listener 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.

Story
When Hazel is given the chance to parachute into Nazi-occupied France, she seizes the opportunity to do more for the British war effort than file paperwork. Alongside her childhood friend, French-born Rose, she quickly rises up the ranks of the freedom fighters. For Rose, the Resistance is a link to her late husband, and a way to move forward without him. What starts out as helping downed airmen becomes a bigger cause when they meet Sophia, a German escapee and fierce critic of Hitler who is wanted by the Gestapo.

It is September 1940 - a year into the war - and as German bombs fall on Britain, fears grow of an impending invasion. Enemy fighter planes blacken the sky around the Epping Forest home of Susan Shepherd and her grandfather, Bertie. After losing her parents to influenza as a child, Susan found comfort in raising homing pigeons with Bertie. All her birds are extraordinary to Susan - loyal, intelligent, beautiful - but none more so than Duchess, who shares a special bond with Susan and an unusual curiosity about the human world.

France, March 1944. Virginia Hall wasn't like the other young society women back home in Baltimore - she never wanted the debutante ball or silk gloves. Instead, she traded a safe life for adventure in Europe, and when her beloved second home is thrust into the dark days of war, she leaps in headfirst. Once she's recruited as an Allied spy, subverting the Nazis becomes her calling. But even the most cunning agent can be bested, and in wartime trusting the wrong person can prove fatal.

In the summer of 1942, as war rages across Europe, a series of anonymous leaflets appears around the University of Munich, speaking out against escalating Nazi atrocities. The leaflets are hidden in public places, or mailed to addresses selected at random from the phone book. Natalya Petrovich, a student, knows who is behind the leaflets - a secret group called the White Rose, led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl and their friends. As a volunteer nurse on the Russian front, Natalya witnessed the horrors of war first-hand. She willingly enters the White Rose's circle....

Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk - genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter. A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its reign.

A World War Two story like no other
The novel is told in the first person, by a German pilot who is looking back on his long life. Everything is there: friendship, love, family, suspense, the evilness of war. But also the social issues that allowed Hitler to come to power, the education that went into creating citizens that could not see truth and logic through their adoration of a power crazy man. Comparing then and now gave me goosebumps.

Exceptional WWII Story!
I didn't realize this was a true story until the end. I did know it was a story that would stay with me for years to come. I didn't like the narrator at first, but as I got into the story, I realized he was perfect for this story, if not for every story. A very satisfying listen.

WWII German Pilot Perspective
This book is written about a German Luftwaffe pilot telling his story to a reporter. The book is well written and moves smoothly as the old pilot tells of his past life from his memories. This pilot was skeptical about Hitler, the punishment of the Jews, and the war in general. He did his duty for his homeland with misgivings. I enjoyed this historical fiction from a German’s perspective.

A fast paced and good story
While occasionally a bit contrived, a riveting story that keeps your attention. Also, a good message in light of the fact that totalitarian madmen are still around in 2022.

Excellent narration. Great story.
I cannot believe this audiobook has not been downloaded more. The reviews were some of the highest I had seen on Audible and I was curious if they were worth it. Well, I am happy to report, I concur, the 4.8 stars are merited!! I thought the narration was amazing. The story was intriguing and that various angles of how war impacts folks was represented, depending on the role they have to play....but after the misery of war wages and the losses add up, participants from both sides start to see the senselessness of war. The only thing I would offer to give the story my 5th star was there was just one too many coincidences/close calls for me at the end of the War years and there could have been more conflict/resolution or character development with the present day characters.
