This book recountsthe horror of World War
II on the eastern front, as seen through the eyes of a teenaged
German soldier. At first an exciting adventure, young Guy Sajers
war becomes, as the German invasion falters in the icy vastness of
the Ukraine, a simple, desperate struggle for survival against
cold, hunger, and above all the terrifying Soviet artillery. As a
member of the elite Gross Deutschland Division, he fought in all
the great battles from Kursk to Kharkov. His German footsoldiers
perspective makes THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER a unique war memoir, the
book that the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR said "may well be the book
about World War II which has been so long awaited." Now it has been
handsomely republished as a hardcover containing fifty rare German
combat photos of life and death at the eastern front. The photos of
troops battling through snow, mud, burned villages, and
rubble-strewn cities depict the hardships and destructiveness of
war. Many are originally from the private collections of German
soldiers and have never been published before. This volume is a
deluxe edition of a true classic. |
