Description:Oberleutnant Dr. Wigand Wüster, a battery commander in Artillerie-Regiment 171 (71. Infanterie-Division) writes about his experiences in Stalingrad. The guns and men of the battery, as well as Wüster himself, were not safely emplaced many kilometres behind the front, but were sited in the suburbs of the devastated city. Their area of operations was central Stalingrad and they were faced by the tough Guardsmen of Rodimtsev's division. Wüster writes honestly and openly about everything that occured, a trait not possessed by many author veterans.In August 1942, Wigand Wüster was a veteran 22-year-old officer leading an artillery battery in Artillerie-Regiment 171 (71. Inf.-Div.) as it approached Stalingrad. The preceding months had been marked by heat, dust, endless marches, and brief skirmishes with the enemy but mostly by an ongoing battle with his bullying battalion commander. In this brutally honest account, Wüster provides a glimpse of the war on the Eastern Front rarely seen before. With frankness, humour and perception, Wüster takes us from the heady days of the German 1942 summer offensive to the icy hell of Stalingrads final hours, and finally into captivity.2007, hard bound with color illustrated covers, 6 1/2 x 8 1/2, vii, 255 pages, 160 photos, 3 maps, 3 aerial photos, 5 appendices. glossy page stock, well illustrated with photos & maps, notes, index.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
