Description / A Thousand Shall Fall

The electrifying story of an Adventist family who dared to practice their faith in Hitler’s Germany

They saw God work miracle after miracle to save them from certain disaster. As thousands around them fell victim to the horrors of war, they were borne up on angels’ wings—sometimes quite literally. This is the true story of one family who chose to be faithful whatever the cost, and found refuge in the shadow of the Almighty.

From the Back Cover . . .

The lieutenant’s face turned beet-red. "You must be mad, private!" he bellowed. "This is the German Army! This battalion’s going to war, and you want Saturday off?" Under his breath he spat out, "It’s just my luck to be saddled with a religious nut!"

Franz Hasel, a 40-year-old pacifist, was drafted and assigned to Pioneer Company 699, Hitler’s elite troops who built bridges at the front lines. His religious scruples did not endear him to his superiors. Sarcastically dubbed "carrot eater" and "Bible reader, " he finally gained the respect of his unit.

Just before he was sent deep into Russia—where all but seven of his 1,200-man unit would die— he secretly discarded his gun, fearing that, as the company sharpshooter, he might be tempted to kill. In Russia he faced a new problem: how to warn the local Jews before the SS got to them.

Meanwhile, back at home, Franz’s wife, Helene, and their four children were fighting their own battles. Pressured to join the Nazi Party, she announced, "I belong to the party of Jesus Christ."

"Tomorrow night your children will be taken from you unless you join the party," Herr Doering screamed. And she had another secret. One day the Gestapo knocked on her door. "Are you hiding a Jew" they demanded. Their chances of survival? Dim. Their only ally? God.

In a few short years they lived several lifetimes of danger. As thousands around them fell victim to the horrors of war, they were borne up on angels’ wings—sometimes quite literally. This is the true, soul-soaring story of one desperate family who chose to be faithful whatever the cost, and found refuge in the shadow of the Almighty.

Every parent needs to read this book and give it to their teenage children to read or have them sit down and read it to them , they will be asking to not stop reading and can’t wait for story family nights ! I read this book in less than 2 days !! What a beyond words book of courage, faith and obedience and a love ! You will cry , you’ll be overwhelmed, you will be in aww on the never ending love for each other and God ! The way God provided and the leaning and thankfulness this family has for our creator is absolutely powerful!! I prayed for this book and didn’t realize god would put it in my hands a week later , I prayed for a book with bounding faith and miracles and to show his love and mercy, I ordered this book not knowing that god answered my prayer ! What a glorious blessing.

This book revives faith. It is intense. I didn’t want to put it down. However, it was easier to read it since someone else told me the family all live in the end.

I couldn't put this book down. I cried at how beautiful and real God's protection and love is for His people. I have read history books about Nazi Germany, but to be able to see a different side of history and how God never fails us was so beautiful. I purchased this book for a number of family and friends who enjoyed it just as much as me.

I purchased the audio book. I didn't want to stop driving so that I could listen to more of it. I would recommend it to everyone! God does hear our prayers - we can honor Him even in the most desperate of situations - He will pull us through them, we just need to stand up for Him!

A Thousand Shall Fall
Review by
When 40 year old Pastor Hasel is drafted into the German Army in World War II into the engineering battalion he carnes a wooden gun and puts it in his pocket and throws away his gun into the river. His family , a wife and three children are left behind. The war will be hell for all of them. Mrs.Hasel has another Baby and the city families are sent into the country for their own safety. Mrs. Hasel and her 4 children spend the night in winter in a freezing shed. The next day the town mayor finds an older couple who will take Mrs. Hasel and her 4 children. Mrs. Hasel and her older children clean the couples house and do their farm work. The Hasel's see people dying all around them, but none of them are hurt. I give away most books after I read them but this book I keep a permanent copy of. This book is an outstanding example of how God cares for his people.
