From 1939 to 1945 a generation of men sacrificed their youth and sometimes their lives for the wrong cause. Their story is retold here in a pictorial format, through their own eyes, by the photos they took during their service in the German army. This is the first volume in a series comprised of unpublished personal photos and gives an unprecedented glimpse into the life experienced by the ordinary German soldier during the war years of 1941 and 1942.
