Remarkable... Without a doubt, one of the most incredible stories you will ever read. The Roanoke TimesEvery once in a while, a true story comes along that reads like fiction... It grabs you on page one and never lets go. Senator Carl Levin, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Armed Services CommitteeAs the twentieth century closed, the veterans of its defining war passed away at a rate of a thousand per day. Fortunately, DDay paratrooper Joseph Beyrle met author Thomas H. Taylor in time to record Behind Hitlers Lines, the true story of the first American paratrooper to land in Normandy and the only soldier to fight for both the United States and the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany. It is a story of battle, followed by a succession of captures, escapes, recaptures, and reescapes, then battle once more, in the final months of fighting on the Eastern Front.For these unique experiences, both President Bill Clinton and President Boris Yeltsin honored Joe Beyrle on the fiftieth anniversary of VE Day. Beyrle did not strive to be a part of history, but history kept visiting him. Twice before the invasion he parachuted into Normandy, bearing gold for the French resistance. D Day resulted in his capture, and he was mistaken for a German linecrosser a soldier who had, in fact, died in the attempt. Eventually Joe was held under guard at the American embassy in Moscow, suspected of being a Nazi assassin. Fingerprints saved him, confirming that hed been wounded five times, and that he bore a safeconduct pass written by marshal Zhukov after the Wehrmacht wrested Joe, at gunpoint, from execution by the Gestapo. In the ruins of Warsaw his life was saved again, this time by Polish nuns. Some of Joes story is in his own words a voice that will be among the last and best we hear firsthand from World War II.
