"This is a great autobiography that illustrates what it was like fighting for the Fatherland during WWII. It's amazing that this guy fought in so many thaters of war and still survived. This gives you good perspective on WWII from a proud/patriotic German."
"One of the best autobiographical novels from the perspective of a German soldier. Knappe served as "assistant" to a general on the Eastfront and describes in detail the occurrence of his military career starting from his education and personal background to his advancement to France and his final campaign in Russia and Berlin. The beauty of this books lies in the perspective, that this not black and white and focuses on the war, not the occurrences surrounding it."
"A interesting look at the second world war form a different perspective that usual: a German soldier. It follows the life a artillery man as he fights all the way from the invasion of Sudetenland to the battle of Berlin. By the end I found myself cheering for the Germans and disappointed with their defeat, as you learn that for most of the soldiers it was not about the evil things such as holocaust, it was about serving their country."
