In Berlin, 1943, compassion is a crime. Newlywed Ursula Hermann is a simple woman, wanting nothing more than an end to the war and the return of her husband from the Russian front. But some things are not meant to be. The authorities determine that Ursula's contribution to the war effort is to guard a prison for undesirables and political prisoners. Then, the unthinkable happens. A prisoner, Royal Air Force pilot Tom Westlake escapes, and Ursula looks the other way. If her single act of mercy is discovered, her life is forfeit. When the injured airman returns, seeking her help, it is her opportunity to turn over the enemy and save herself from destruction. In a world where right has become wrong, and wrong has become right, Ursula must make a decision: obey the fatherland, or follow her conscience. Inspired by true historical events, War Girl Ursula is the unforgettable story of one young woman's moral courage in the face of unspeakable suffering.

The love English RAF pilot Tom Westlake and Ursula Lausen will warm your heart. Ursula is the Blonde Angel we met in Marion Kumerrow’s love and resistance series. Against her better judgement, Ursula hides Tom. Her sister Anna, a nurse, is horrified to learn the enemy is under their roof. But she gives Tom the medical attention he needs.
The tension is increased when the nosy neighbour reports them to the Gestapo. They manage to overcome that hurdle only to be faced with the mother returning from the country. The prequel, Shot Down Over Germany, is an intense, nail-biting read I recommend before reading War Girl, but it’s not essential. I enjoy suspense, tense and emotional stories of which War Girl is one. ( )
