SynopsisThe battle for Stalingrad has been studied and recalled in exhaustive detail ever since the Red Army trapped the German 6th Army in the ruined city in 1942. But most of these accounts finish at the end of the battle, with columns of tens of thousands of German soldiers disappearing into Soviet captivity. Their fate is rarely described. That is why Adelbert Holl's harrowing and vivid memoir of his seven-year ordeal as a prisoner in the Soviet camps is such an important record as well as an absorbing story. As he moves from camp to camp across the Soviet Union, an unsparing inside view of the prison system and its population of ex-soldiers emerges. He describes the daily life in the camps - the crowding, the dirt, the cold, the ever-present threat of disease, the forced marches, the indifference or cruelty of the guards - in authentic detail. The Soviets treated German prisoners as slave laborers, working them exhaustively, in often appalling conditions. The prisoners could only struggled to survive, to support each other, and hope against hope to return home., * Eyewitness account by a German soldier of seven years in Soviet captivity after the Battle of Stalingrad* Describes in unsparing detail the appalling conditions endured by prisoners of war* Insight into the Soviet system of camps and slave labour* Vivid portraits of fellow prisoners and camp guards * An authentic record of a neglected as

First hand account of a German Nazi soldier imprisoned in Russia
Only read 20 pages so far, but this is the kind of book I was looking for. I wanted an unadulterated account of what the German soldiers experienced after they surrendered to the Russian's at Stalingrad, instead of just a generalization. Very well written account of a German officer that was involved in the surrender and being released back to Germany after years of Russian imprisonment.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

After Stalingrad
A gripping account of what life was like for a POW in the Soviet Union. the amount of suffering and death that these men had to go through is amazing and sad. It amazes me that anyone survived it. The Soviet Union was a horrible place to be a normal civilian, even more so for a POW. The Soviets had no respect for human life and it showed in our they treated the weakest most vulnerable parts of their society, in this case the POWsBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
