DAYS OF SMOKE offers a compelling, mold-shattering view of World War II and the Holocaust from the unique perspective of German Luftwaffe pilot Hans Udet. Across aerial battlefields ranging over much of Europe, Hans progresses from a nave young Messerschmidt pilot to an ace of increasing rank and responsibility. But unfolding events pit Hans' love of the Fatherland against his natural compassion for humanity. Fascism's true ramifications come into focus after Hans saves a young woman from brutal sexual assault. His discovery that Rachel is Jewish-and her assailant a Storm Trooper-puts a face on Hans' ideological conflict. As growing feelings for Rachel sensitize him to the and "Jewish problem, and " Hans is torn between mounting disdain for the Nazis and his sense of duty to Germany; Rachel is the unlikely bridge joining his disparate halves.
