Title: AUTHOR TOO INTERESTED IN PROSE NOT HISTORY.
Product review: The deceased author was by his own admission a writer. His accounts of the war in the east suffer from his desire to be literate rather than detailed in his account of his experiences on the eastern front during the second world war. The majority of the his recollections are of such a general and vague nature you wonder whether the author truly experienced these events or just an expression of his imagination through prose.If you are seeking a detailed day to day account of the war in Russia this book is not for you. After reading this book I did not gain any increased sense of what it was like to be, or the motivations of a common German soldier, or the war in Russia.
