"MY Grandfather LTGen Carl Casper is in this, though in the end people knew him at Nurmmberg as a Nazi, he was from the old guard entered the German Army in 1922."
"OK I recently discovered my local Borders carried a bunch of the Stackpole WW2 books, so several of my most recent reads are to do with the Russian Front. This is a good one. Willi Fey, the author, fought mainly on the Eastern Front in a Tiger company that was used to stop the Red Army armored breakthoughs. The Tiger was the best tank built in WW2 but Fey was plagued with breakdowns and supply (especially fuel) problems. Lots of good, believable descriptions of tank warfare. Fey isnt a very good writer, but good enough. The book takes us right down to the last days of the war as the surrounded ninth army uses their last remaining armor to try to break through the Russian encirclement and reach the Western Allies. Again, this book has appeal for the buffs, general readers steer clear."
