If you have an interest in WW2 stories you might like this book which is part of 'The Sword of Zeus Project' which is an initiative to promote the awareness and education of people concerning the experience of Greece and its people in World War 2. It is by a man who was a boy during the war. He describes life before WW2 and then when the Italians first came in and were repulsed by the Greeks and then when the Germans came in. And then life under German occupation.When a German soldier was attacked or killed the Germans were ruthless but otherwise, not so much. Ultimately the Russians were forcing the Germans back in eastern Europe and the Germans in Greece withdrew to help defend Germany. Then, the Communist groups were active and attacked by the British and there was more bloodshed.

The Luger which his father had was confiscated from a German pilot who was captured early in the war.

A book worth reading if you have an interest in WW2 stories and experiences.
