World War II

Inspired by my father’s memories and those of my own, I undertook to assemble the stories of several persons on World War II. I happened to be connected in one way or the other to those people. This war has and still does impress upon me because of the madness of its initiators, the unreserved support by the mass of the German population, the collaboration of traitors and the resistance by the right ones. The latter deserve our respect.

Pith Schure

Born in the most beautiful town of the world, Maastricht, the author moved at age 18 to Wageningen to study rural development. In the company of his all-time wife Mieke, he worked in two dozen – mostly tropical – countries all over the world. They have two girls and a boy. Abroad he worked on land and water use and improvement, the building of farmhouses, institutional development and project performance evaluation till into his seventies. While on his home base, he undertook to restore a châtelet. As from his sixties, he dug up history worth, telling on in publications in Dutch and English. The most interesting of those found their way to Austin Macauley Publishers.
