Yes, a truly magnificent book written from Sajer's heart. I've read it several times. It never ceases to amaze me. How do you access his pictures on the internet? Would

also like to put a face behind the book. Thanks.

[mattegunnar]

Best book i have ever read.

they should do i movie of this book.

[TheToolnut]

The best book i've ever read, very well written. Depicts the death throes of the German Army in the East and the barbarity of the reds. The Germans truly were magnificent soldiers, after Kursk till the end of the War they proved time and time again their bravery and professionalism. I salute them.

[Sturmmann]

I wish I was there again.

there are a couple of pictures on the net, he was just a kid...

[borkidork9999]

I read the English version, it's not a comfortable book, but you won't be able to put it down once you start reading it. I cannot recommend this book enough, but it's extremely disturbing. It's not just an first person experience of the war, it's a literary classic on its own right, well written, very well written, which only adds to sense of unmitigated tragedy of it all. Read it, it'll change you.

There are several of him on the web. One as a 16 year old in German uniform about to start training and one from the 90s. He looks like the kid he was in the first one and a very striking old guy in the second.
