Description
During World War II, a young officer began his military career in the brutal Eastern Front. In February 1943, he took up his posting with Deutschland Regiment, SS Division Das Reich, part of von Manstein's Army Group South. Attacked by Russian Sturmovik fighters on his journey, he joined his platoon to be sent behind enemy lines to capture prisoners before a major counter-offensive. He soon displayed his formidable military talents in a series of hard-fought battles, but his enemies did not all wear the same uniform. Away from the front, he found that the SD and Gestapo were as deadly at the front as they were inside the Third Reich. His initiation into the Waffen-SS was anything but straightforward. This is an epic and thrilling account of the war in Russia based on actual events.
