Summary: If it wasn't true you would never believe it
Review: If the worth of a book is in how it effects you then A Thousand Shall Fall gets five stars. I read it three years ago, and it continues to affect my life. My children now 11 and 14 have each read this book through four or five times, and consider it one of their utmost favorites. It's impact in strengthening their resolve to do what is right continues. My wife reads a couple hundred books a year, but rates this has one of her all-time favorites.
Based on the true story of a young German drafted into the Nazi army, an army and a nation that are in the wrong, he must follow God faithfully.
If Schindler is valued for saving his population of Jews, Hasel deserves much more for the Jews he saved.
You will be amazed at how God continues to work in miraculous and true ways even in the midst of World War II.

Summary: A Must-read for every Christian. You will not regret.
Review: If you are a Christian you HAVE to read this book. Okay, lets imagine you have problems. No, I mean REAL problems. You're Christian, good.. But let's say you're a Christian in Germany at the beginning of WWII. HITLER's Germany!. Not too bad?? Well, how about if you are one of the first to get drafted into HITLER'S ARMY?? Not bad enough?? How about if your request to be a conciencious objector is DENIED. Bad enough yet? How about facing persecution for your beliefs? Most of us in Modern America can't understand what that is. But Franz Hazel knew well. Forced to be a soldier in the front lines of Hitler's army, he vowed to stay true to his beliefs and his God. What would you do if Hitler told you that you had to fight for him and his ambitions that you believe are evil, but your God says "Thou shalt not kill" What WOULD you do? How much would you risk to avoid going against your concience? Would you risk yourlife? Franz Hazel did when he threw away his gun so he wouldn't be tempted to kill in the heat of battle. And again when he went ahead of the Gestapo, warning the Jews of what was comming. He risked everything to stay faithfull to his God. But the awesome thing?? The more faithfull he was to his God, the more faithfull God was to him, protecting him, unarmed in the front lines of battle, and his family back at home as they face starvation and social persecution. This book will uplift your spirits and give you a greater faith in God. A book that you won't be able to put down once you pick it up, it is as exciting as any action flick while being 100% true. After reading this book, you'll understand what it really means to be a Christian. To risk it all and trust completely in God. Not to be missed!!
