Unrelenting: Love and Resistance in Pre-War Germany

**Berlin, Germany 1932. In a time of political unrest and strife, one man finds the courage to fight back...** Dr. Wilhem "Q" Quedlin, chemical engineer and inventor, lives for his science. A woman is not in his plans—nor is it to be accused of industrial espionage. But things get worse from there. Watching Hitler's rise to power spurns his desire to avoid yet another war that will completely destroy his beloved country. Q makes the conscious decision to fight against what he knows is wrong, even if working against the Nazis could mean certain death for him— and anyone he loves. Hilde Dremmer has vowed to never love again. But after encountering Q, she wants to give love a second chance. When Q discloses his resistance plan, it’s up to Hilde to choose between her protected life without him or the constant threat of torture if she supports him in his fight against injustice. She has witnessed enough of the Nazi government's violent acts to be appalled by the new political power, but will this be enough for an ordinary girl to do the extraordinary and stand beside the man she loves in a time of total desolation? This World War II spy story is based on the true events of one couple's struggle for happiness while battling a war against their own leaders. This book is a must-read for everyone wondering how an entire nation could slide from democracy to totalitarian dictatorship ultimately killing millions of "undesirables" whose only crime was having a different faith, skin color or political opinion. **Review "Her German perspective gives a new view for British and American readers, showing what the developing storm was like for those who lived in it." ~ Discovering Diamonds Blog "In 'Unrelenting' Kummerow fully concentrates her writing on the dialogues. In an excellent way the reader experiences the tension that exists between the pro- and contra-Hitler-followers." ~ Annabel Junge, Orlogsboekenreviews "Unrelenting showed me a different story: German people who were not Jewish, but took up defense against the oppressive Nazi Party. Unrelenting showed me a love story, but another kind of love story: love and duty to a beloved country." ~ Annette Kristynik, Impressions in Ink "The story was well-written, well-paced and kept me intrigued. For those who want to understand the situation in Germany leading up to World War Two through the eyes of everyday people, this is an excellent book to read. " ~ Robyn Echols, Rumours of War "For anyone interested in the human stories behind the WWII resistance fighters, I would highly recommend Unrelenting."  ~ The Book Muse UK "My favourite part of the book was getting the perspective of ordinary German citizens as Hitler's fanaticism takes hold over their country...This historical aspect was eye-opening."  ~  Laurie, The Baking Bookworm " I absolutely adored the character of Q and found him very captivating with his resistance beliefs.." ~ Abby from Annebonnybookreviews About the Author Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries.
