Features: This book fills an important gap in the historical record of World War II, specifically the war memoirs of German soldiers as invaders. Through interviews with German veterans and their families, the author provides readers with a novel and unique perspective on World War II. The veterans recorded in the book span across the three branches of the military—navy, army, and air force. In terms of type, they include the Wehrmacht, the SS, child soldiers, female soldiers, and resistance members. Some of the historical facts covered are even unfamiliar to many young Germans today. This book not only for the first time presents readers with the wartime experiences and reflections of a generation of German veterans but also reveals some little-known facts about World War II, offering readers both fresh insights and profound reflections.
