In 1939 the realease of atomic power was discovered in Germany during the recovery of industry and the rearmament. Trapped in Germany because of the outbreak of war, Erwin Klinge was asked by his boss to leave his job researching osmosis in Berlin and to move to Frankfurt to learn the process of producing 'a special heavy metal'. Wishing to maintain a low profile during these turbulant times, Erwing agreed and made the journey back to his birthplace unaware of the inherent danger that lay ahead of him.

Erwin became employed in the production of urnanium as part of Germany's initiative to become an atomic power. Once Erwin realised his involvement and the threat of creating a German atomic power, not to mention the risk to his health while working with such primitive equipment in the production of this toxic material, his thoughts turned at once to escape. The Truth is Marching On is his remarkable story about his war experience in Germany and that of his subsequent succeses in the chemical industry and as a committed Christian.
