Title: No return home
Description: Victor Moss' novel, No return home, is a Soviet WWII love story, based on the true events from the lives of his parents. His father, Vladimir, a young medical doctor mobilized into the Red Army at the onset of World War II and his mother, Slava, a medical student proficient in German, are forced towork under the circumstances beyond their control for the Nazis. This story picks up where the first book left off and follows the adventures, joys, terror, and hardship of the young couple as they struggle to survive the Nazis and the Soviets. They are plunged deeper into the morass under the German occupation in Poland, Belarus. With the approach of the Red Army, they must flee and are taken by the Germans to Germany. While there, they endured local resentment, hunger, cold, and the devastating and frightening Allied bombings. After the war, they were moved from one refugee camp to another as displaced persons in the British Zone, all the while keeping a vigilant eye out for Soviet agents keen on repatriating them back to the Soviet Union where they faced certain death.
