Letters from Soldiers Home (victory Translation Series)

About This Novel
During World War II, Wehrmacht soldiers were the only group of people who saw action on all fronts in Europe and North Africa. As a group of ordinary soldiers, they are unknown in the army; in life, they are husbands, fathers, sons, and the most important people in a family. Their experiences, emotions and expressions are true reflections of ordinary people thrown into extreme circumstances. In the letters they wrote, they were not talking to themselves, reporting to their commanders, answering post-war interrogations, or even telling history; they were talking to the people they loved. These private details of daily life in the battlefield can help us clarify the relationship between the meaning given to World War II in Germany and personal life, and see the complex relationship between war and human nature.
