Title: Not bad
Review: Not a big fan of these pulp-fiction war books, but thought I'd give this one a try, and all and all wasn't that disappointed. The story revolves around a rag-tag unit of the German army retreating through Czechoslovakia. As it happens, while stationed in the vicinity of the main protagonist's--Kolodzi--home village--the unit is detailed to search for a general that was captured by Czech partisans. Kolodzi therefore is torn between his duty and the temptation to desert and return home and shack up with his girl who he hasn't seen for ages, and who incidently has connections with the partisans, etc. Anyway, it is a gripping, face-paced book, and not all that bad, even if the title is a little, well, odd.
