Of course, we know about the Nazis and their evil regime. We learn how a young man--still in his teens--managed to survive a brutal regime looking to exterminate his race. Bert's parents were finally dragged away by the Gestapo--never to be seen again. Young Bert, having skill in metal-work, was required to work in an armaments factory.
He and a friend were able to steal and sell motors by lowering them through a window when no one was around. Finally, even Bert's special machinery skills were not enough to save him, and the Nazis came to take the remaining Jews away. Bert got word of this, and went underground, as a "U-Boat," as the remaining Jews were called.
