An interview with a British World War II soldier whose name just happens to be James Ryan (Jim). On the 6th June 1944, 19-year-old Jim Ryan, a tank driver, came ashore 3 hours after the start of what would go down in history as "D-Day". By midnight 57,000 American and 75,000 British and Canadian troops were encamped on the beachhead, pinned down by heavy German artillery fire. From boarding his landing craft hampered by terrible weather, setting off on an incredible journey to the disembarkation on Sword Beach, this is the true story of one man's personal war.

Hunderttausende Deutsche flohen Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs vor der Roten Armee aus Ostpreußen und Königsberg. Immer wieder gingen Kinder auf der Flucht verloren oder erlebten die Ermordung der eigenen Familie. Andere mussten ohnmächtig mit ansehen, wie ihre Geschwister verhungerten, die Großeltern aus Schwäche starben oder die Mutter einer Epidemie erlag. Auf sich allein gestellt, überlebten diese Kinder in den Wäldern des Baltikums. Man nannte sie „Wolfskinder".

In Analog Spooks, Fuller shares a vivid tapestry of experiences from his formative years in the Finger Lakes region of New York during World War II. The narrative unfolds with humorous anecdotes from his early days in the United States Navy, including a memorable six-month stint aboard a WWII Destroyer Escort based in New Orleans (the Big Easy). A particularly amusing flight aboard a B25 Bomber, reminiscent of Jimmy Doolittle's legendary missions, adds a light-hearted touch to his military journey.
