John had served in the British Army for 30 years when he was posted to Germany in 1953. Erika was a German national and a secretary in Tax House, Lübbecke, Germany where John was based. John literally bumped into Erika in a corridor and for him, it was love at first sight. He pursued Erika by way of astonishingly wonderful love letters. Eventually, Erika succumbed. It was not an easy journey for them. It was only a few short years after WW2 when both their countries were at war. The Nazis had performed numerous atrocities that were still fresh in people's minds. But their absolute love for one another endured through adversity. This is semi-biographical, some fact some fiction. Written from the point of view of Erika but actually by her daughter Susan who wanted others to know about the truly remarkable love letters between her parents. The story covers from 1900 to 1964. It recounts her mother's life far and beyond her relationship with her father, to paint a frank social history of Germany as Hitler rose to power - and the bitter feelings her mother had toward Germany in the aftermath of the Nazi atrocities. Paralleled to this is the chronicling of her father's three-decade Army career, which included moving her mother to the UK for them to settle in the late 1950s. The author started the project to document their lives for her own daughter, who sadly never knew them. It's amazing how much they packed into their short marriage; unfortunately, her father died in 1964 when she was just seven years old. But their story is a bold chapter in the wider history books and deserves to be preserved. She is so pleased her parents carefully kept so many documents because today they paint a vivid picture of their unique and tumultuous lives.
