'90/To Rolland Comstock, best wishes-- (Signature of Paul Watkins) ". "The year is 1944--the final, agonizing months of the Third Reich. Driven more by boredom than by patriotism for his shattered, despairing nation, former Hitler Youth Sebastian Westland joins the Waffen SS on the day after his seventeenth birhday. Surviving the unspeakable cruelties of training camp, he receives his baptism of fire at the Battle of the Bulge--and begins a shocking descent into depravity that will cost him his innocence, his humanity and, utltimately, his soul." - DJ.
