Die Bäckerei

Die Bäckerei is a tale of rare courage and resistance in Hitler's Germany as well as a prologue to our 21st century stories. The arc of this fast-paced adventure follows a reluctant hero from his origins in the Armenian Genocide in 1918, to the horror of life under Hitler in Berlin during the 1940's, and finally to the tragedy at America's southern border in the recent past.

Review -- Ausgezeichnet, Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up!

"Birmingham has given us a thrilling adventure, a timeless coming-of-age story, and a moving testament to the bravery of the everyday men and women who populated the German resistance to Hitler -- all deftly rooted in the history of the period. His message that the demons that tormented Germany then still lurk in the shadows today is gripping."
-- Martin Sauter, Author and Historian, Berlin, Germany

Charlie Birmingham is an entrepreneur and novelist who divides his time between the coasts of Southern California and Normandy, steps from the D-Day invasion beaches. He is a rabid fan of historical fiction and authors like M.M. Kaye, George MacDonald Frazier, Bernard Cornwell and Philip Kerr. His successful first novel, "Bocage," explores the theme of personal sacrifice in a time of war set against the backdrop of the vicious hedgerow fighting of the Allied breakout in Normandy in WWII and the hunt for a Nazi secret weapon.
