Summary of Leah Garrett's X Troop

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In September 1937, the young man who would become Colin Anson sat with his father at a beer hall in Frankfurt. He was only 15 years old, and it was exciting for him to enter the grown-up world of the Bierhalle. #2 The beer hall was packed with German American tourists. The atmosphere was tense, and the only sound was Lorna thumping her tail against the sawdust-covered floor. Colin's father, who was Jewish, was arrested for speaking out against the Nazis. #3 In 1937, when Colin was fifteen, his father was taken away by the Nazis. The death of his father was the defining moment of his life. He had always idolized Curt, and saw him as a role model of the type of man he wanted to be. #4 Colin's father had protected him from the knowledge that he was Jewish, but when he was told that he was half Jewish, his views on the Nazis changed almost immediately. The situation for the Jews of Frankfurt became much worse after the Night of Broken Glass in 1938, when thousands of Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
