À propos de cet audio

This is the true and dramatic testimony of a German grenadier during World War II.

Erhard Steiniger joined his Wehrmacht unit on October 12, 1940, as a radio operator, a role which required his constant presence with troops at the Front, right in the midst of combat. On June 22, 1941, he accompanied his division to Lithuania where he experienced the catastrophic first day of Operation Barbarossa.

He later witnessed intense clashes during the conquest of the Baltic islands and the battles leading up to Leningrad on the Volkhov and Lake Ladoga. He describes the retreat from battles in Estonia, Kurland, and East Prussia and his eventual surrender and captivity in Siberia. He finally returned to Germany in October 1949, a broken man.

If you are a WW2 Nerd like myself, you will find this story interesting. Particularly because the main character's story provides insight into lesser known "Eastern European" experiences of the war. I thought it was fairly short, not much interesting "value added" reflection given, and the narrator made me fall asleep a few times.

This will likely appeal ONLY to WW2 Nerds

The more ordinary aspect of that war. Short yet intriguing, well narrated. ‘Aren’t we lucky.’

Fascinating story
