About this listen

A stunning look at World War II from the other side.... From the turret of a German tank, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded Rommel's 7th and then 21st Panzer Division. El Alamein, Kasserine Pass, Poland, Belgium, Normandy on D-Day, the disastrous Russian front - von Luck fought there with some of the best soldiers in the world. German soldiers. Awarded the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross, von Luck writes as an officer and a gentleman. Told with the vivid detail of an impassioned eyewitness, his rare and moving memoir has become a classic in the literature of World War II, a first-person chronicle of the glory - and the inevitable tragedy - of a superb soldier fighting Hitler's war.

I love how Hans described in detail his entire journey of WW2 and well past it till present day. Unlike most memoirs from that era this one is entirely different keeping the atrocities of the war descriptions a tad muted but compensating by painting a masterful picture of social aspects and coping with extreme circumstances. It makes this book very relatable on a humane level. Most outstanding to me were the last few chapters describing his live and captivity survival in Georgia’s gulags. Absolute must read / listen to.

Amazing perspective and top notch memoir.

Doing away with a lot of the misunderstandings with regard to the motivations behind serving your country. No matter what side you were on.

Fascinating!

Having read a number of biographies with a World War II theme, Von Luck’s is simply the best of them. A must read.
