Snow White and Blood Red: a German Soldier's Memoirs on the Eastern Front

(germany) Günter K. Kosholek

180K8.7

This memoir is a first-person account by a German soldier who served on the Eastern Front during World War II. The author does not focus on an examination of the causes of the war or the use of tactics. Instead, by recording the dates, he set out to present the reality that German soldiers faced day after day, and their fate of often dying on the battlefield. Many of Kosholek's comrades were crushed to death by Soviet tanks or blown to pieces by artillery shells. As a book that unreservedly captures the transience and horror of war.
