Commentary In Favor Of Books Kolbe (Geschichte erleben mit Spannung)

During one of history’s darkest chapters, one man is determined to make a difference.

In the tradition of Schindler’s List comes a thrilling novel based on the heroic true story of Fritz Kolbe, a widowed civil servant in Adolf Hitler’s foreign ministry. Recognizing that millions of lives are at stake, Kolbe uses his position to pass information to the Americans—risking himself and the people he holds most dear—and embarks on a dangerous double life as the Allies’ most important spy.

Summoned from his South African post to return to Nazi Germany, Kolbe leaves behind his beloved fourteen-year-old daughter, a decision made for her safety that nonetheless torments him. And as he lives under the constant threat of arrest, he wrestles with the guilt of putting Marlene Wiese, a married nurse and the love of his life, in danger as they collaborate on Kolbe’s clandestine work.

But no matter the personal cost, Kolbe will not be deterred. In scenes that pulse with suspense, he emerges as a towering figure who risked everything to save innocent lives—and Germany from itself.

Weigh Up Of Books Kolbe (Geschichte erleben mit Spannung)

Not your everyday WWII spy novel, and by no means perfect, but a sufficiently gratifying pick from the Kindle First heap and a relatively quick read.As for genre, this seems to be a mash-up between historical fiction, a garden variety page-turning spy novel, and ... something else, but I'm not sure what. On one level, the novel chronicles - and, apparently, takes any number of liberties with - the career of a (subsequently) celebrated spy, an actual historical figure, of whom there, apparently,

This is a fabulous book! A real page-turner that kept me reading well into the night. Based on the story of Fritz Kolbe, perhaps the greatest spy ever, it paints a very realistic picture of life in Berlin during the war, and the disgust of one man at the heart of the German office who decides that he cannot stand by and watch all the horrors of the Nazi regime and does something about it. Through a friend in Switzerland Kolbe manages to get in touch with the OSS operatives stationed in Bern, and

A true story in novel form, so not really non-fiction. Certainly not as good a book as Schindler's Ark

Annoyingly histrionic main character does things like stab pictures of Hitler with a fork. Along with the spying of course.

I liked this book but did not love it, I am not sure if the translation has to take some responsibility for this, but the writing style did seem a bit odd at times.I found it rather difficult to like Fritz Kolbe, if all the deeds he did are indeed all based on fact then he undoubtedly was a brave man and deserves recognition for this.

Someday ... I imagine pretty soon ... we'll see the story of Fritz Kolbe, The Honest Spy, in movie theatres. Christoph Waltz, with his head shaved into male pattern baldness -- or better yet Ulrich Mühe -- should play Fritz Kolbe. If a Yankee actor is chosen, which one more than likely will be, they should go with Woody Harrelson, but the producers will surely go with someone more bankable, sexier, someone a US audience can believe as a romantic lead and a man with the guts to steal top secret

This novel/thriller is based on the real-life spy Fritz Kolbe. Kolbe was a German civil servant, an assistant to a couple of ambassadors, who never joined the Nazi party. He hated the Nazis and what they were doing to his country. He want Hitler to be defeated so he decided to give critical and secret information to the Allies, specifically to the US's OSS. He wasn't recruited; he was not paid. He tried the Brits first but was turned away. He became Allen Dulles' most important spy, operating
