Four days after Germanys surrender in May 1945, a young British officer named Freddy Gray takes a Jeep and heads East from the Netherlands into Germany.

He begins by helping to liberate his hometown, where his former home has been taken over by Nazis and the basement repurposed as a torture chamber. Then he travels through streams of refugees, overcomes Soviet military roadblocks, and crosses no-mans land before reaching his ultimate destination: Theresienstadt, the concentration camp where his parents were last seen.

There, incredibly, Manfred discovered his parents still alive I Will Come Back for You tells his remarkable story.
