'I Must Be a Part of This War' - A German American''s Fight Against Hitler and Nazism

Settling in New York City, Korf became an FBI informant, watching pro-Nazi leaders like Fritz Kuhn and the German-American Bund as they moved among the city's large German immigrant community. Soon after, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in Germany as an intelligence officer during the Battle of the Bulge, and as a prisoner of war camp administrator.

Résumé

Kurt Frank Korf's story is one of the most unusual to come out of World War II. Drawing on his correspondence and on oral histories and interviews with Korf, the author paints a portrait of a man forced to flee Nazi Germany because the Nuremburg Laws had relegated him to the status of "second-degree mixed breed" as Korf had one Jewish grandparent.
