Summary
22-year-old Amelia Watson had just finished her nursing training in the summer of 1942 when she received a letter from Colonel Sink asking her to join the 101st airborne division as a combat medic and train to become the first female paratrooper.
Eager to prove herself she accepts, unprepared for the hard training she'll endure at Camp Toccoa, the brutal war waiting for her in Europe, and the friends and love she'll find along the way.
UPDATE JANUARY 2025!! I've been pretty swamped since starting university and stopped writing, but I've been going through the story, editing and adding scenes, and I will finish this eventually. Sorry for taking so long!

Summary
Natalya Schultz was 15 when President von Hindenburg had died, followed by the rule of Adolf Hitler. Since the end of the Great War, and Germany's surrender, she would never have expected that her life would also be entangled with bombs and artillery. But now, as she was trapped in a cell with 3 other students, her hope in her motherland, her faith in her leader, and her loyalty to her family, were being tested.
Joseph Liebgott enlisted in the Paratroopers just a few days after Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. He had never expected to be falling from the sky over the greenlands of France, into combat with only his training, his rifle, and the prayers against his lips to keep him safe. But now, as he watched over a group of German students from the Nazi's most elite nursing school, his self-control and his morals were being tested.
Two sides of the same coin: Everything they thought they had known about the war, the enemy, and themselves would change forever.
