About the author: Eugen von Boros actually: Ludwig von Jeney was born on January 25, 1907 in Budapest. He studied law and economics in Munich and Hamburg and, after a short period as a writer, devoted himself to working on his Vatta estate in Hungary at the Hamburg newspaper. Since 1934 he worked on various estates, most recently in Silesia. After fleeing from Silesia in the spring, he and his family moved to Upper Bavaria for political development. The Tönerne Götze, these books, lead the reader to the time when the German Empire collapsed in the winter of 1944/45. Ludwig von Balassa and his family fled to the coming Russian armies from the east of the empire to southern Bavaria. Harrowing scenes take place on the crowded escape routes into the interior of Germany. It is only with great difficulty that Ludwig reaches the saving village on the Auerbach, in which the final tragedy of the collapse is now taking place. The general ofWaffen-SS Hauser defends the place, although there is nothing left to defend. How the morale of the troop collapsed , how the SS tries to save face until the end, is masterfully described. The work was awarded a prize in 1948 by the publisher.Ludwig von Jeney died on June 28, 1948 in Pörnbach (Upper Bavaria ) from a measles disease .
