"Hitler's Last Soldier in America" by Georg Gaertner with Arnold Krammer, published by Stein & Day, New York, 1st Edition, 1st print: "First published in 1985" in stated on the copyright page. Original price un-clipped dust jacket; illustrated with photographs.

A book about survival. The story of Georg Gaertner, the only remaining German prisoner of war still at large in America and how he eluded the FBI for forty years.

Few men have the ability to adapt, overcome and preserver in the new country the way the author did. But he managed to escape from a New Mexico prison camp and live undetected in the US for the majority of his life. This book details how he did it.

"In this respect it is the only book I know of that is about a person living clandestinely within the US. I found it interesting how he used many traditional methods for moving about the country undetected. He lived modestly, didn't get involved with issues that may have made people notice him and he left before making real long-term friends. He was particularly lucky to get a social security number that allowed him to work within the US." [from the private review]

"I asked a friend of mine who served in the Afrika Korp if he knew of this story and he did. His comments were basically that the man was a "bit of an odd duck." But he also understood that once you've left home you can never really go back." [from the private review]
