This is in my top ten for books. I had loaned one out and ended up having to buy it again. Short stories about some amazing feats of German soldiers during WW 2. Some amazing stories of super human acts of survival and conduct under combat situations.

If you want to know more about the infantryman's life (and death) fighting for the Third Reich, this book is worth a read. It examines several men in detail. Officers, enlisted and medics, even paratroopers. It covers many of the theaters of battle of the Wehrmacht from 1939 to 1945. There is very much a different attitude than typically seen in writing about American troops. There is a great respect for tradition and the German soldiers take pride in outfighting their foes.If you are a student of WWII ground combat you owe it to yourself to see it from the "other" side. Kurowski was a journalist so don't expect great literature but he does a fine job of painting a clear (often bloody) picture of life on the front lines.
very fast service good description
