Heidi Langbein-Allen, author of Save the Last Bullet: Memoir of a Boy Soldier in Hitler’s Army, talks about her father’s harrowing experience as a child soldier in the final days of World War II, the Nazi indoctrination of German youth, and the long shadow war cast over survivors and their families. Raised in Germany, France, and Spain, Heidi wrote the book from sixteen cassette tapes her father recorded in German, preserving a firsthand account of trauma, survival, memory, and the moral wreckage left behind by war.
