Leslie Malton and Felix von Manteuffel read "Ich will lieber schweigen" — Schloss Ritzebüttel, Cuxhaven

Will Quadflieg kept a record of his experiences from March 1945 to September 1946: the advance of the Red Army, nights of bombing raids, fear and despair - and his unshakeable determination to keep performing and to provide for his family, who had fled to Sweden. Decades later, his daughter Roswitha reconstructs those 104 days from his diary and letters, entering into an imaginary dialogue with her father.

A gripping reading about war, guilt, language and self-deception - without accusation, without whitewashing.
