Before he died (here in the US, in the 1990's), my grandfather did write some memoirs that are in storage with family members. He had never spoken about the war to me, and I didn't get a lot of first-hand accounts from him. I did see the multiple shrapnel scars on his body, and I heard Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604792445866772599.post-42541749591255532062011-02-03T20:13:56.593-05:002011-02-03T20:13:56.593-05:00Gene,

I respect your opinion on this, and this is your work, but I think that letting people take an uncensored peek into the mind of a guy who could follow the sort of orders he received would show us more of what he was (and others like him were) likeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604792445866772599.post-64876817889768008742011-02-03T19:58:47.421-05:002011-02-03T19:58:47.421-05:00Nova,

I'm very interested in reading more to get a feel for what the Eastern Front was like from the 'other' side. Looking forward to it.<br /><br />GeneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
