THROUGH HELL FOR HITLER: A dramatic first-hand account of fighting on the Eastern Front with the Wehrmacht

Eighteen-year-old Henry Metelmann joined a German Panzer division in 1941, a committed National Socialist and former member of the Hitler Youth, ready for the great Onslaught against RussiaThe first euphoric stages of that campaign saw the Wehrmacht sweeping all before it, but as the German forces struck deep into the Russian heartland, Metelmann began to question the justness of this savage war.Then came the turning point.Victory became terrible and total defeat.From the Russian white hell, the remains of the German forces fled in an epic retreat.Having escaped from the Russians, Metelmann survived to become a prisoner of war and was sent to America, and then to Britain, where he had time to reflect on the part he had played in one of mankind’s most horrible conflicts.
