Diary of a German Soldier. Military Life on the Eastern Front. 1941—1943

Helmut Pabst's diary recounts three winter and two summer periods of fierce fighting of Army Group "Center," advancing eastward towards Bialystok-Minsk-Smolensk-Moscow. You will learn how the war was perceived not only by a soldier fulfilling his duty, but by a person who sincerely sympathized with the Russians and expressed utter disgust for Nazi ideology.
