How did this man come from Jersey and instantly became an SS soldier?  I don't believe it worked quite that easily.  I found this incredibly unbelievable.First of all he would have had to have connections in Germany, and he didn't know anyone in Germany, just his uncle, a low ranking soldier.  He grew up on the island of Jersey. He would not have had a thorough enough grasp of German colloquialisms,(having grown up speaking English) let alone German military language.SS officer's backgrounds would have been thoroughly checked. Not everyone was able be in the SS. Was Rebecca suppose to have waited in the concentration camp while he finished his training?The whole book (I did finish the book) went from rather uninteresting (yawn) to incredibly ridiculous. The author rambled on about a lot of insignificant events in Christopher's life and then swished through more important events.Nope, sorry folks just couldn't believe this story. On top of it all, it was not well written.That is my humble opinion.
