Praise for "A Good Nazi?":

"Great narrative that is a monument to real friendship as well of a very good documented WWII conflict."
"Really tugs at your heart and emotions ... and makes you think.. all at the same time. Couldn't put it down. Read in one day. Excellent."
"Great story telling! Had to force myself to put it down and get some sleep. Well done, sir! Well done!"
"The author has to be applauded for not turning Torsten into a hero but not putting him down all that much, either. I saw Torsten as a human being, good and bad and gullible. The other characters are also drawn well.
"I enjoyed the story very much and felt my eyes getting wet at the end."
"An excellent read. I felt as if I was right there. A difficult book to put down."
