The Last Letter From the Atlantic Wall

German soldier Friedrich Kellner, stationed on the Atlantic Wall near Saint-Nazaire, kept a detailed diary from 1939-1945. In his final entry before the Allied breakthrough, he wrote: 'If one of the boys reading this diary ever reaches this shore, may he know that his father was not the monster the world thinks we were. We were boys who loved our mothers, our sweethearts, our country, only we were told a different truth.' Kellner survived the war. His grandson found the diary in 1968 in Illinois and eventually published it as 'My Opposition.' The diary is now housed in the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library.
