Title: Great Read!!!
Review: The book reads like an action adventure. The initial success of the campaigns in Poland, France, Balkans and even Russia is overshadowed by the change which comes with seemingly endless combat and death. By the time of the Normandy invasion, it is clear that defeat is looming for the German Army and people. The victories described in the early part of the book are contrasted with the fight for survival at the end. It is a Great Read from the viewpoint of a young man grown old in combat.It is also an interesting case study for postwar military "justice." Is it possible for a losing enemy combatant to receive a fair trial in view of mass media, public opinion and political pressure; from the winners? We'll see if some young Gitmo lawyer does his homework...
Is the review positive or negative?
