From Brownshirt to Turtleneck details one manÕs unforgettable journey from Nazi Germany to America as he matured from a disillusioned Hitler Youth to an award-winning documentary filmmaker.
As Werner Schumann chronicles his disillusionment with Germany and his eventual immigration to AmericaÑwhere he married a Jewish emigreÑhe shares a fascinating glimpse into his war experiences, coming-of-age adventures, family life, and film projects.

A fascinating narrative of an extraordinary life. The section on his boyhood Nazi Germany and World War II is riveting, and the story of his amazing career as a film maker and his wonderful marriage makes compelling reading. I couldnÕt put it down.

From Brownshirt to Turtleneck is the gripping account of what it was like to grow up in Germany during and immediately after World War II: the almost nightly bombings, the struggle for food, the constant moves in quest of survivalÉ.
