Abstract:
Geltersburg is the story of the evolution of Erich Rheinhardt from a lonely orphan to a fulfilled family man. Paralleling the evolution of Germany from a despotic reign of terror to a respected nation, Erich’s journey led from U-boat seaman to the Bundestag. A good looking man, Erich had no trouble attracting women. His affairs were numerous during his youthful years in the U-boat service. Initially, his major objective was to stay alive while enjoying life. This progressed into a greater objective, that of eradicating the stain of Nazism and promoting the unification of Germany.
