Description: "This book presents ... personal journals of a German soldier who participated in Operation Barbarossa and subsequent battles on the Eastern Front, revealing the combat experience of the German-Russian War as seldom seen before ... In these journals, attacks and counterattacks are described in 'you are there' detail , as Roth wrote privately ... knowing that his honest accounts of the horrors in the East could never pass through Wehrmacht censors"--Dust jkt.
