Yeah the title and author of that book seem familiar. If I'm correct the author was a French volunteer in the Wehrmacht (?).
Just finished reading this book (it's the first time i have ever read a book i found reading books boring but not anymore) i just don't know what to say! this book tells you of what a German soldier went through on Eastern Front of how every soldier actually feels on battlefield under artillery fire or when he sees a tank charging straight towards him! it truly is an amazing book everyone should give it a try no matter what.
Next up "Tigers in the mud" By Otto Carius

Yeah man no problem. I'd hate to be the only WW2 enthusiast on this forum and so I'm glad there are other members with similar interests. Which is why I always tag you, @Psychic and @Nilgiri in my every post much to your guy's annoyance .and yes desert fox bro that thread is like my baby :p thank you again for opening it on a request of a newbie (as i was at that time on PDF).

@Vergennes
Yes his father was French and mother German and yes he was transferred to Gross Deutchland in '43 iirc yea there are some inaccuracies in the book as a lot of people pointed them out too but i read somewhere that according to him this wasn't meant to be a fully accurate book when it came to locations dates etc these were his memories his experiences during the war and memories fade away with the time.I believe he was from Alsace, and thus was able to enlist as a German in the regular Heer (but in the Grossdeutshland division - which was one of the elite).
There are inaccuracies in the book (its a personal recollection) but well worth a read...after all it would be weird if there was no human element to such. I read it some 10 years ago I believe (the French version).
There is talk of it being made into a movie by the Dutch guy that did Black Book....dunno if that has led anywhere.
Can't wait for Dunkirk later this year....should be a good one I feel.
Hope it doesn't turn into a disappointment :/Can't wait for Dunkirk later this year....should be a good one I feel.
Ah not available on Google play amazon it is than :/My first book on the Eastern Front was by the Belgian Walloon Fascist and volunteer Leon Degrelle called Campaign In Russia (1st English edition, translated from the original French Front de l'Est, 1941-1945). In fact I opened an entire thread on Leon Degrelle.
Degrelle, despite the Germans offering him the position of an officer in the Walloon Legion he himself created, chose instead to enlist as a humble private and earn his way up to eventually become an SS General through his own merit as a fearless soldier. Truly an embodiment of the Fascist spirit that even Hitler himself who, while personally honoring Degrelle with the Knights Cross, is famously quoted to have said to Degrelle that "You are almost unique in history. A political leader who fights as a true soldier. If i had a son, i would wish him to be like you".
A great book by a great man. This is the second edition with new title and I'm glad I own this book as it's one of my prized books.
That is on my list too but again not available on google play sighOther books that I have read on the Eastern Front are Sniper On The Eastern Front by Sepp Allerberger
