An international bestseller, this is a German soldier's first-hand account of life on Russian front during the second half of the Second World War. When Guy Sajer joins the infantry full of ideals in the summer of 1942, the German army is enjoying unparalleled success in Russia. However, he quickly finds that for the foot soldier the glory of military success hides a much harsher reality of hunger, fatigue and constant deprivation. Posted to the crack Grosse Deutchland division, with its sadistic instructors who shoot down those who fail to make the grade, he enters a violent and remorseless world where all youthful hope is gradually ground down, and all that matters is the brute will to survive. As the biting cold of the Russian winter sets in, and the tide begins to turn against the Germans, life becomes an endless round of pounding artillery attacks and vicious combat against a relentless and merciless Red Army. A book of stunning force, this is an unforgettable reminder of the horrors of war.

  • War and Hell the Same...Pravda

    Glad I wasnt there.who needs the Russians to fight when you have Winter to kill you,have experienced minus 32 degrees myself once in St.Petersberg and without gunfire of any sort.this book tells you as others from Veterans how deadly life could be in the 1940s,although you cannot help but feel so sorry for those people who endured Hell to let down by there own who did not feed and care for injured,the Russians completed the task by doing terrible things to those they captured,they also killed 22,000 Polish Officers and others without coming clean about it in 1990 even if the World knew the truth before that....Wars ! Without which Humanity might get bored with themselves,my respect to Guy and his book .....Go buy a copy and see for your self "Pravda" amazing Book to read Dzienkuje Bardso.
