Description
Breakout at Stalingrad by Heinrich Gerlach is a stark and terrifying portrait of the horrors of war. In November 1942, Lieutenant Breuer and his fellow German soldiers found themselves in a frozen hell as they struggled to survive against relentless Soviet assaults. The book itself has an extraordinary story behind it. Its author fought at Stalingrad and was imprisoned by the Soviets, where he wrote a novel based on his experiences. The manuscript was confiscated by the Soviets before Gerlach's release, but he used hypnosis to recall the narrative. Fifty-five years later, Carsten Gansel discovered the original manuscript in a Moscow archive. This first translation into English of Breakout at Stalingrad includes the story of Gansel's sensational discovery, offering a profoundly humane depiction of comradeship in adversity.
