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 all three branches of the military—land, sea, and air. In terms of types, 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 inner thoughts of a generation of German veterans during World War II, but also reveals some little-known historical facts about the war, offering readers both a fresh and thought-provoking experience.
