Ensnared in the Wolf's Lair

I've come on orders from Berlin to fetch the three children. –Gestapo agent, August 24, 1944 With those chilling words Christa von Hofacker and her younger siblings found themselves ensnared in a web of family punishment designed to please one man—Adolf Hitler.

He wanted to torment their relatives, too, regardless of age or stature. All of them. Including every last child.
