Hardback. Condición: Good. In this rare World War II memoir, Lothar Herrmann, a soldier from the Wehrmacht, details his unimaginable experience as a German Prisoner-of-War in the Soviet Union. Hermann grew up in Bavaria, going through the RAD (Nazi Labor Service) before being conscripted into a Wehrmacht Mountain Division (the Gebirgsdivision) in 1940. He participated in Germany's advance through southern Ukraine in 1941 and, in 1944, was arrested in Romania while retreating to Germany. The Romanians passed him onto the Soviets, who placed him in a forced labor camp, where he watched two-thirds of prisoners around him die. In 1949, Herrmann was finally released to Germany and returned to Bavaria. Three million German troops were taken prisoner by the Red Army and around two-thirds of them survived to return to Germany in 1949, but their stories are little known. Klaus Willmann draws on interviews he conducted with Herrmann, to recount these astonishing recollections in the first-person. Depicting the challenges of growing up in Nazi Bavaria to becoming a Soviet prisoner-of-war, this is a gripping and enlightening account from a necessary but rarely explored perspective.…

Condición: New. Hardback, 256 pagesPublished Price £19.99 For students of history, Herrmann's memoir offers little new insight into the Wehrmacht's operations on the Eastern Front, though it does note, for instance, that ordinary soldiers increasingly blamed their generals for Germany's military collapse by July 1944.Its real value lies in Herrmann's postwar experience as a Soviet prisoner of war-a perspective that remains poorly understood. As Roger Moorhouse notes in his foreword, such captives "were scarcely commemorated, let alone written about," often dismissed as painful reminders of defeat. Herrmann's account joins those of Gottlob Bidermann and Oskar Scheja in documenting the brutal conditions endured by German POWs under Soviet custody.Raised in Bavaria and shaped by the Reich Labour Service, Herrmann joined a Gebirgsdivision in 1940, fought through southern Ukraine, and was captured in Romania in 1944. Transferred to Soviet labor camps, he survived where two-thirds of his comrades perished, returning home only in 1949. Presented through extensive interviews by Klaus Willmann, this rare memoir offers a vivid, deeply personal perspective on the staggering human cost endured by the three million German soldiers held by the Red Army.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This is the true story of how one soldier experienced the horrors and bloodshed of World War II - and lived to tell the tale. Hans Fackler, like many boys his age, was conscripted into the Wehrmacht at the age of seventeen and sent to the Eastern Front. A pioneer in the infantry, he barely survived the carnage of the front lines and lost comrades to the Russian forces. Eventually, Hans suffered a grievous injury from a grenade explosion. No longer able to fight, he found himself drugged on morphine and on board the controversial Wilhelm Gustloff, an armed military transport ship for SS, Gestapo and Wehrmacht personnel, which operated under the guise of transporting civilians. The Gustloff was attacked and sunk by Russian torpedoes, drowning more than 9,000 passengers. Rescued by a German freighter, Hans recuperated in a military hospital near Erfurt in the Harz, which subsequently fell into the Russian zone. He escaped and undertook the arduous task of walking almost 200 miles back home to Bavaria. The extraordinary first-person account of one of the few soldier-survivors of the sinking of the Gustloff, it also includes Hans' experiences of taking part in the Kiev and the Vercors mountains massacres in 1941 and 1944 respectively. The incredible, true story of how one soldier survived the numerous perils and hardships of war to return home.
