Title:
Rhapsody in Junk
Author: Marilyn Walton
Desc:
This book is the culmination of three year’s of
research in four countries. By meticulously combing the archive records
in England, Germany, Poland and the United States, Marilyn Jeffers
Walton has reconstructed the final mission of her father and his crew
and located the German cemetery where one crewmate, killed the day the
plane was shot down, was buried. She searched for and found the
remaining men of the crew of “Rhapsody in Junk” and reunited them after
sixty years. Interviews with the crew and fellow prisoners of war
contributed puzzle pieces, put together bit by bit, that enabled her to
find where they were captured and interrogated. By searching old
records, letters, diaries and mission records, she was finally able to
return to Germany and find the crash site of her father’s B-24 where
pieces of the plane still remained. To her astonishment, she met the
woman who watched her father bail out and saw the very field where he
landed. During her return to Germany, she connected emotionally with the
people of the peaceful farm community of Wagersrott where her father was
taken prisoner over six decades before. In her quest to reconstruct the
mission and her father’s prisoner of war experiences, Walton presents
not only his story but the stories of the British and German people who
both suffered greatly, all caught up in the dictates of a mad man.
Revealed within the pages is a first-hand account of the bombing of
Dresden from a German couple who survived it. Walton’s odyssey through
Europe allowed her to discover the rich fabric of the people who endured
and survived the war and to weave their stories into a multi-faceted
mosaic that reflects the personal experiences of World War II.
