Forgotten Soldier recounts
the horror of World War II on the eastern front, as seen through the
eyes of a teenaged German soldier. At first an exciting adventure, young
Guy Sajer’s war becomes, as the German invasion falters in the icy
vastness of the Ukraine, a simple, desperate struggle for survival
against cold, hunger, and above all the terrifying Soviet artillery. As a
member of the elite Gross Deutschland Division, he fought in all the
great battles from Kursk to Kharkov.
Sajer's German footsoldier’s perspective makes The Forgotten Soldier

a unique war memoir, the book that the Christian Science Monitor
said "may well be the book about World War II which has been so long
awaited." Now it has been handsomely republished containing fifty rare
German combat photos of life and death at the eastern front. The photos
of troops battling through snow, mud, burned villages, and rubble-strewn
cities depict the hardships and destructiveness of war. Many are
originally from the private collections of German soldiers and have
never been published before. This volume is a deluxe edition of a true
classic.
