| Summary: | Gunter Koschorrek wrote his diary on any scraps of paper he could lay his hands on, storing them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. He tells of the horror and confusion of fighting in the streets of Stalingrad are brought to life by his descriptions of the others in his unit - their differing manners and techniques for dealing with the squalor and death. He is also posted to Romania and Italy, assignments he remembers fondly compared to his time on the Eastern Front. |
