In the late summer of 1939, as Hitler's army steamrolled toward neighboring Poland, eighty-five American men and women were serving as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Church's West German Mission. Though many knew they were witnessing the opening gun of war; few foresaw their part in an incident that would test them all. Mine Angels Round About is the account of one of the most dramatic events to occur in the modern history of the Church: that of the escape of the West German Missionaries from Nazi Germany. Based on colorful, personal accounts from fifty-eight of those former West German Missionaries, the evacuation story unfolds a vivid backdrop of threat and intimidation , of individual courage and obedience, and the quiet testimony that God goes before His servants and sends His angels round about to bear them up.
