Cant reccomend it, everyones tastes are different when it comes to memoir's but this is mainly about the mundane side of the war, when it does come to combat hardly a paragraph is spent written on it. Also seems to suffer from 'hind sight is perfect syndrome', some of the things and discussions he has with his comrades and prisoners seems a little too far fetched to be known by the general ground troops during the war. Doesnt feel completely honest, seems a bit white washed. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Here is the extraordinary story of one man's war. This book portrays the gradual awakening in the mind of a young Hitler Youth 'educated' soldier of a Panzer Division, bogged down in the bitterest fighting on the Eastern Front, to the truth of the criminal character of what he is involved in. Having in mind that about 9 out of 10 German soldiers who died in WWII were killed in Russia, the book throws light on the largely unreported heroic sacrifices of Soviet soldiers and civilians often against seemingly hopeless odds, without which Europe might well have fallen to fascism. It deals less with grand strategies, tactics and military technicalities than with the human involvement of ordinary people, from both sides, who were caught up in that enormity of a tragedy, that epic struggle in Russia. It throws light on the chasm which existed between officers and men in the sharply class-divided Wehrmacht with most of the top rank officers having been drawn from the old imperial aristocracy.
