Title: a very believable account of the hell on the Eastern Front
Review: I have read many books on WW2 on the eastern Front and this one has the ring of truth about it ....not overly dramatic and a bit plodding at times , it really sounds like the real deal...the misery and horror of the german assault on moscow and the retreat afterwardsThe only part I can quibble with is when the author, a very likable young german , claims that they captured 18 soviets, after a fiece struggle and then he was detailed to take them out and shoot them ....he actually claims that they discretly released them and claimed to have shot them to their superiors ....HIGHLY UNLIGHTLY !!But apart from this obvious attempt at gaining sympathy , the book sounds about right , it's just a pity that his story ends in april 42 when he is wounded
