For me this was a shocking exposure of how the German soldiers were treated by the red army in the pow camps.
It is a story told by a soldier who was a pow and how this had an impact on their life.
At times harrowing but an important document from an eye witness.
Well worth the 5 stars and a read by all.

Stalingrad to Kursk
The epic battles fought at Stalingrad and Kursk were pivotal events in the war on the Eastern Front. After the catastrophic failure of the German offensives of 1942 and 1943, the Wehrmacht was forced onto the defensive.
