Very interesting
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it would be more like the title in the fact that her husband would be more involved in the Nazi party but he is not. It's more about how she deals with normal life living in Germany during the war. She tells stories about what she was forced to do which was very interesting. I would recommend this book as its a new insight in to a person's life living in an horrendous time.

Engrossing and well read.
Narrator has done a good job relating this story. A very interesting and well presented story. Gripping throughout and very helpful in keeping the memories…. of what should never happen again alive… for future generations.

Listen to this to believe it...astonishing.
What an amazing story. It unfolds slowly but the tension keeps building until it starts to feel like fiction. Such details of the buildup of the Nazi terror and killing machine seen experienced by Austrian citizens I had never realized, vividly brought to life.
I have just spent (July 2013) a few days in Vienna where the tour guides don't even mention the war (except how draconian the Versailles Treaty from WWI was). No mention of the Holocaust. I couldn't believe it. So stories like this one need to be told and need to be heard. The narrator used many authentic voices - keeping me enthralled.
If I had been editing this before it went to print, I would have encouraged more detail about the author's life after WWII. That's my only complaint - it wasn't long enough!

Survival story
This book was bought alive by the beautiful narration of Barbara Rosenblat.
This is a harrowing story of a Jewish woman’s survival in Nazi German. She is strong brave and resilient and her story is an important part of history.

An Extraordinary Journey
The Nazi Officer's wife is an extraordinary journey into the Holocaust experience. It is honest, heartwarming, forthright, and immensely entertaining. I thoroughly recommend it

A riveting Story
Listed to this whilst travelling from Cumbria to a GP Practice in East London and the journey just few buy. That the story is true just makes the story the more incredible. As you get to know the characters and see Nazi Germany from a frightened housewife?s point of view you get perspective. Not every one in the story is bad, and many are not good at all, but they are all so real and so ordinary. You see the risk, the helpless endurance when all around you hate. You see how bad things can get and how grateful we can all be for the simple safety of our homes. It left me wondering if in the end, I could have come through what she came through with as much dignity and humanity. It also on a personal level, without getting all weird about it, made me reflect on suffering. How in the end it?s so individual. Millions might be suffering, but its millions of individuals just like you and I.
I have hundreds of Audible books now as I have been a member since only Audible.Com existed, and this is still one of my favourite listens.
