Description The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer 4.33 of 5 stars 4.33 · rating details · 4,790 ratings · 253 reviews 23 This book recountsthe horror of World War II on the eastern front, as seen through the eyes of a teenaged German soldier. At first an exciting adventure, young Guy Sajer’s war becomes, as the German invasion falters in the icy vastness of the Ukraine, a simple, desperate struggle for survival against cold, hunger, and above all the terrifying Soviet artillery. As a member of the elite Gross Deutschland Division, he fought in all the great battles from Kursk to Kharkov. His German footsoldier’s perspective makes The Forgotten Soldier a unique war memoir, the book that the Christian Science Monitor said "may well be the book about World War II which has been so long awaited." Now it has been handsomely republished as a hardcover containing fifty rare German combat photos of life and death at the eastern front. The photos of troops battling through snow, mud, burned villages, and rubble-strewn cities depict the hardships and destructiveness of war. Many are originally from the private collections of German soldiers and have never been published before. This volume is a deluxe edition of a true classic. Guy Sajer is certainly not a fraud. Surviving veterans of Grossdeutschland living in Germany remember Sajer, though they say he was assigned to a panzer support unit and not the infantry as he depicts in his book. I think Sajer's quotes tell all, that he wants to be left alone, and that he wrote the book in memory of his lost kamerads. It is said that "The Forgotten Soldier" is to be made into a major feature movie, the filming to be in Poland. Related Torrents
