One of my favorite books of all time. Cannot remember how many times I have read it. It gives one the feeling of really being there. It was a horrific way to fight and die.

BTW. Sajer was drafted and ended up in Grosse Deutchland, which was Heer, not Waffen SS.

WG Dog,

Thanks for the great references! I just went online and ordered 800 Days on the Eastern Front and In Deadly Combat. The notes to the books make them sound like a great read.

Regards,

John
