Drawing on decades of correspondence, Dear Enemy brings to light a profound exchange between Richard Mathias Mueller—a former Hitler Youth member turned German soldier—and Canadian author James Bacque. After surviving imprisonment in an Allied camp in 1945, Mueller challenges and reflects on the narratives of World War II.

In 1991, Mueller reached out to Bacque, whose acclaimed works document Allied treatment of German POWs. Their letters span controversial debates on:

• Prison camp conditions and survival
• Germany’s wartime guilt and accountability
• Holocaust perspectives and memory
• The rise of the Right in contemporary Europe

Combining personal testimony with historical inquiry, Dear Enemy invites readers to reconsider accepted WWII narratives and explore the complex aftermath of conflict on both individual and collective memory.
