Reviews

"... a first-rate memoir... The reader will find the narrative flowing. Two appendices, one on German Infantry Regiments in WW II of 1940, and another consisting of references of all places named, are added to assist the reader."-- "City Book Review"

"... compiled with attention to details. The reader will feel as though he is alongside Lubbeck as he calls fire missions on the enemy during his three years of service."-- "Military Trader"

"...a well-wrought ground level view of daily life in hell."-- "World War II, No 3, 06/2007"

"an interesting story of a part of World War II not well known in the US. I suspect the author would be an interesting person with whom to spend a few hours in a beer hall going a bit deeper into his experiences."-- "Books Online"

"In August 1939, at the age of 19, William Lubbeck was drafted into the German Wehrmacht. As a forward observer of a heavy weapons company in the 58th Infantry Division, he witnessed combat up close in France, Russia and Germany. His memoirs are compiled with attention to details. The reader will feel as though he is alongside Lubbeck as he calls fire missions on the enemy during his three years of service."-- "Military Trader"
