Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Jutta Schiel a schoolgirl in Berlin when the storm clouds of World War II gathered across Europe, as a teenager she experienced Hitler Youth B.D.M. (Bund Deutscher Mädel) and fleeing the Russian Advance. The immediate aftermath of Germany's defeat heralded a life of survival - sleeping underground and being on the run - and a crash course in nursing. Met British sergeant Ernest Tyler in Germany, married and eventually moved to Northern Ireland where they refurbished caravans then set up a garden centre business at Castledawson. In later years re-visits the past reflecting on the changes, and discovers a family link as possible distant relative of a John Sheil from Ballyshannon Co Donegal (or Shiell, before it was Germanized to Schiel), as at least one Irish sailor had settled in Memel, at the time a busy German Baltic port based on trading of whiskey and timber between Germany and Ireland. 248 pages, front endpapers map, and section of sixteen photographic plates, without dust jacket as issued.
