Today, their tales still vibrate with interest and colour for anyone who likes to travel or has an interest of the histories of the places they visited.
Autorenporträt
Otto Schmalz was born in 1932, in what was soon to become Nazi Germany - just a month later, Adolf Hitler was voted into the German Reichstag. Otto survived the ravages of the Second World War in and around the city of Hannover in north central Germany, and while doing so was witness to some of the most intensive and destructive Allied bombing of the war. As the Bombs Fell is his first book - a telling of his experiences during this time. Otto went on to have a career as an electrical engineer. He currently resides in Ottawa, Canada, where he is working on further writing projects of an autobiographical nature.
