The war is over, but he is stuck in a perpetual nightmare. Surrendering to the Russians is Wehrmacht Leutnant Johann Hauser's only option. Then he hopes for a fast end of World War II. But once the war ends, his ordeal doesn't. Whisked away into the vast lands of the Soviet Union, he and his comrades cling to life by a thin thread. The fighting never stops, but their new enemies are hunger, cold, and exhaustion. Every passing day is a cycle of hope and disappointment with one single goal in mind: staying alive. When fate in form of the Soviet system throws him one drawback after another, can Johann maintain enough strength to survive and ultimately return home? Readers raved about Endless Ordeal: "If you enjoy reading thoroughly researched, authentic historical novels, this one is definitely for you. Highly recommended!" - Goodreads Reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿ "Possibly the best if all ten books! Now that I have cried my way through an entire box of Kleenex as this series came to an end, I just want to read more and more about the wonderful characters that took me all through so many facets of the Second World War as told from a German perspective. This last book may have also been the best, but it is difficult to judge... From a historical perspective, I found myself googling a lot of places and events to learn more about them. Marion Kummerow did a brilliant job in researching this series." - Goodreads Reviewer¿¿¿¿¿
