WWII is coming to an obvious end. A German infantryman is trying to stay alive and hold on to some small bit of Czechoslovakia. His commanders are trapped in a hopeless task, and his immediate teammates are beginning to think about just slipping off quietly and getting out of this mess. It is a pretty good read and my thanks to the translator. By the way, I read this book in 1967, and the material here deals with a 1981 reprint....there are probably no changes. ( )

A great Wehrmacht was novel that is a fictionalized story of the battle fought by the 101 Jager Division in the Czech Mountains against both Czech partisans and and the Red Army. Brutal, it rings with authenticity. ( )
