Mission at Nuremberg is Tim Townsend's gripping story of the American Army chaplain sent to save the souls of the Nazis incarcerated at Nuremberg, a compelling and thought-provoking tale that raises questions of faith, guilt, morality, vengeance, forgiveness, salvation, and the essence of humanity.
Lutheran minister Henry Gerecke was 50 years old when he enlisted as an Army chaplain during World War II. As two of his three sons faced danger and death on the battlefield, Gerecke tended to the battered bodies and souls of wounded and dying GIs outside London. At the war's end, when other soldiers were coming home, Gerecke was recruited for the most difficult engagement of his life: ministering to the 21 Nazi leaders awaiting trial at Nuremburg.
Based on scrupulous research and first-hand accounts, including interviews with still-living participants, Mission at Nuremberg takes us inside the Nuremburg Palace of Justice, into the cells of the accused and the courtroom where they faced their crimes. As the drama leading to the court's final judgments unfolds, Tim Townsend brings to life the developing relationship between Gerecke and Hermann Goering, Albert Speer, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and other imprisoned Nazis as they awaited trial.

There are people with whom this book will not resonate well, and some may even be offended by it. However, for those who want to see how God's love and forgiveness was extended to some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi regime, this is a fascinating account.
As far as the narration, I played it at 1.20x speed, which seemed to be a lot more natural. Otherwise, the narration was perfect.
I also regret not purchasing a hardcopy, because there are so many great quotes throughout.

This book provides another point of view into the most pivotal trial in the history of the world and does so very well. While I was a bit put off that it took a while to get there, I came to appreciate why whenever it did reach such a point.
