regarding the veracity of his story. It doesn't detract from the shattering experience of reading about life on the Eastern Front in WWII.

Incredible memoir.

But I do feel by reading that sajer served in Gross Deutschland on east front

n/t

To sajer he may have asked what is nearest city. In battle of belgorod in summer of 43 to him he may have never heard of Kursk so this is what I’m basing my thoughts on

many years since I've last read it. Very powerful work.

And in reading it again I admire the veteran august wiener the Mg -42 gunner that sajer was his Assistant gunner he saved those boys hide Hans and sajer.

important to read.

Is sajers constant suffering as landser now thank god as former infantry I never suffered as him or comerades

to fight in Russia.

After I caught PCs from Bragg I ended up in west Germany as mech infantry. It was late 85 I do think we could have checked Warsaw Pact in our AO. As in terrain choke points but we would have paid dearly to stop them with our wreckage.

Now in North Germany very flat terrain armor has maneuver territory I do think the Warsaw Pact would have made gains and encircled nato ,My opinion is all.

Very thankful it never happened

missed that 84, 85, window, then they would miss their chance for many years to come, and miss it they did.

I’ve never heard of it.
