Status Updates From The Forgotten Soldier

Our troops arrived at Kiev. This handsome city had not suffered much damage. The Red Army had tried to stop the Wehrmacht outside the town. No longer able to withstand German pressure, they withdrew to the other side of the city, to spare it the kind of destruction Minsk had suffered. Kiev was our first stop, halfway between Minsk and Kharkov. Our ultimate destination, Stalingrad, was still more than 600 miles away.

Had to get this second hand in hc but it’s immaculate. And a better cover than the current edition. Cuz covers matter cuz art matters. I know it will be a fierce read but I also know my Deutsche friend has a lot to offer. He did not bow the knee to the Nazis. They wanted to use his WW1 memoir for propaganda and Sajer refused.
