{"product_id":"your-loyal-and-loving-son-horst-fuchs-richardson-9781574885675","title":"Your Loyal and Loving Son: The Letters of Tank Gunner Karl Fuchs, 1937-41","description":"These are the compelling letters of Karl Fuchs, an ordinary German soldier who was completely convinced of the righteousness of his cause and who wrote them free of the recriminations and hindsight arising from the bitterness of defeat. Combining enthusiastic expressions of loyalty to the f?rer and the Fatherland with messages of love for his family and requests for necessities from home, they provide a personal look at a youth typical of his time, one whose fervent and naive nationalism was of the very sort that later fanned the flames of the Holocaust.Throughout \u003ci\u003eYour Loyal and Loving Son\u003c\/i\u003e, young Fuchs remains an idealist, confident in his concept of duty. Yet his letters clearly support the general assertion that many Germans who backed the Third Reich did so neither out of opportunistic self-interest nor nihilistic delight in destruction, but instead in the hope for a better future. Killed on the Eastern Front, Fuchs did not live to see his son, the infant to whom he wrote and who as an adult compiled these letters for publication. With an introduction and annotations by eminent historian Dennis Showalter, this collection will help make those early war years more comprehensible to contemporary readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Horst Fuchs Richardson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1574885677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781574885675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.00w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 840","brand":"Horst Fuchs Richardson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980120097023,"sku":"9781574885675","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e3ba82b-7c52-4f0a-9ae5-4ed9af4fb3e4.jpg?v=1683248511","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/your-loyal-and-loving-son-horst-fuchs-richardson-9781574885675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
