Massaquoi Hans J.Massaquoi is the son of a Liberian consul and a German girl. He was born in the 1920's in Hamburg and grew up there (his father disappeared from Germany soon after his birth). Being quite impressed by Nazi fanfare and the athmospere of the time, he actually wanted to join the Hitlerjugend and the Wehrmacht! Somehow, he survived the times with his humor intact. Highly recommended!!!!!!!! I especially enjoyed it because he grew up in the same corner of Hamburg I did, but it is worth reading even without that. Greetings
