Reading 'Frontsoldaten', a book about the German infantryman in WW2. If you ever wondered what the war was really like, especially on the Russian front, read this book. It's very depressing, frightening, and is putting me in a bad mood.. maybe because, in a much less intense way, I can relate to the terror of combat portrayed in the book. I certainly can't relate to the darker actions of both German and Soviet in that war, thankfully. But, a great read, certainly makes you appreciate simply being alive. I highly recommend this book. It's told mainly through the letters and diary entries of the landsers.
