Saat in den Sturm: Ein Soldat der Waffen-SS berichtet - Buch

This extraordinary book stands out for its linguistic power in its depiction, for the author's special fate, which has been used time and again in veritable "Ascension Commands", and because of the unvarnished-open description of the events, far from the numerous publications on the second World War out. In 1938, Herbert Brunnegger volunteered for the barracks SS and at the age of 15 became the youngest soldier of the Third Reich. Used as a "crisis fire brigade" at the focal points of the war, the path of his association - the Waffen-SS-Division Totenkopf - leads of France in the cauldron of Demjansk, in the winter battle to Kharkov and in the "Operation Citadel", the largest battle in war history German offensive in space Kursk - Orel in the summer of 1943. After four wounds Brunnegger comes in Italy to use last in Brandenburg again to face the Red Army. The author shows the honest idealism and the camaraderie of his troupe, but does not ignore the negative aspects of education and service. He portrays the heavy casualties of his division, which has been repeatedly wiped out by several men, against an often cruelly fighting enemy, and places a memorial to Colonel-General Paul Hausser, who, in defiance of Hitler's express orders, put off Kharkov in a hopeless situation and thereby prevented a second Stalingrad.
