Hagen Vockerodt served 1, 638 days as a soldier in the German Armed Forces' deployment zones. From Kosovo and Bosnia to Thailand and Afghanistan, he repeatedly witnessed death and injury. As a medic and paratrooper, he patched up wounded soldiers under fire. Amidst the devastation of the tsunami in Banda Aceh, he disinfected mass graves and fell into the clutches of rebels. In the fight against the Taliban, he prepared to use his last bullet against himself. He was forced to stand by helplessly as a young Afghan girl was stoned. How could a person endure all of this?
He found a way out of his nightmares at the Invictus Games in The Hague. As team captain of the German squad, he discovered a new kind of courage and strength within himself. The Games became a turning point in his life.
With a foreword by General (ret.) Wolfgang Schneiderhan, a preface by Brigadier General (ret.) Michael Bartscher and a prologue by Marcel Bohnert.
