Hi Jochen Jansen; Whenever I feel sorry for myself, I reread this book: The Forgotten Soldier Guy Sajer ... Guy Sajer provides the most compelling first hand descriptions of the German war with Soviet Russia ever written - bar none. Sajer, a French national, serves in the elite Grossdeutschland Panzergrenadier Divison in the dark days of the war, long after the marching songs have faded and the long retreat has begun. His miraculous story combined with the lively descriptions of his comrades provides a gripping description of survival in the greatest military maelstrom of our time. That Sajer survived the great battles of encirclement and the pitiless weather is a testament to the vagaries of war. As a German historian I heartily recommend this book to military afficianadoes and tyros alike. search.barnesandnoble.com He was a Frenchman but since one of his parents was German, he was drafted into the German Army, and sent to the Russian front. It reminds one of the Tolkien books. But instead of returning to a civilization that ignored his wartime travails, Guy Sajer returned to one that reviled his membership in the SS. -- Carl
