Tracks of the Tiger. Frontline Notes of a German Tankist. 1944

The mechanic-driver of the German tank «Tiger» describes the combat path he traveled with his crew along the military roads of the Eastern Front during World War II. Possessing undeniable literary skills, the author conveys with a high degree of accuracy the nature of this war, with its bloodshed, chaos, scale of destruction, harsh frontline life, and incredible bravery displayed by the soldiers and officers of both warring sides. And although he is confident in the justice of the war that Germany is waging, under the fire of Soviet guns, he mentally exclaims: «It seemed that all of Russia had unleashed its wrath and all its fury upon us for what we had done on this land».
