Max serves on the Western Front as a Medic ( he was trained as a dentist), in the Hurtgen Forest 1944-45 where he befriend three young Germans who were in the Resistance. He saves one of their lives and remains attached to them emotionally his whole life. Metta or Margarethe was his first contact of the trio and they had a brief clandestine love affair which resulted in a child.
Max returns to the US but looks for Margarethe through most of his life. His daughter, Dr. Beth Cohen helps him to find his lost love at the end of his life. It was a great read!
