The Shadow of His Wings

This is the incredible true story of a young German seminarian recruited into Hitler's fearsome SS at the start of World War II. Gereon Goldmann was able to complete his priestly training, get ordained, and covertly minister to German Catholic soldiers and innocent civilian victims caught up in the horrors of war, without renouncing his Christian beliefs, despite all odds and in the face of Evil. It will surprise you in how it all came to pass.

Father Goldmann recounts his own extraordinary wartime experiences, including numerous narrow escapes from impending death and the wicked persecution he and his fellow Catholic troops faced as a result of their faith. What emerges is a remarkable witness to the workings of Divine Providence as well as the invincible force of love, prayer, faith, and sacrifice.
