"These extraordinary bugged conversations reveal through the eyes
of German soldiers with stark clarity and candor the often brutal
reality of the Second World War, providing remarkable insight into
the mentality and behavior of the Wehrmacht." --Sir Ian Kershaw,
author of "Hitler: A Biography"
"The myth that Nazi -era German armed forces [were] not involved in
war crimes persisted for decades after the war. Now two German
researchers have destroyed it once and for all. . . .The material
[they] have uncovered in British and American archives is nothing
short of sensational. . . .["Soldaten"] has the potential to change
our view of the war." --"Der Spiegel" (Germany)
"This should be required reading for all those who believe that
wars could be done cleanly." --Martin Meier, "Neues
Deutschland"
"A significant contribution on the mental history of the Wehrmacht
. . . The authors have written an incredibly readable book." --"Die
Zeit"
"An equally fascinating and shocking book about the everyday
madness of the Nazi war of extermination, which once again confirms
Hannah Arendt's thesis about the 'banality of evil' . . . A
scholarly sensation." --Goethe Institut
