5.0 out of 5 stars St Michael 30 Oct 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a "must have" title if you desire to read of German soldiery in WW2. Pruller is both forthright and honest in equal measure, and this in itself is rare and refreshing in comparison to the majority of "views from the other side". The main asset of this book is you will read of a soldier who remains fully comitted to the cause, and not one whose demenour changes when Germany is clearly losing the war. Is Herr Pruller enigmatic, a stereotypical "Nazi" potrayed in many Hollywood blockbusters, or was he one of many members of Hitler's forces during those war years who through his words, remains steadfast to his nations war aims?

3.0 out of 5 stars An insight into Nazi mindset 12 Feb 2011
By ThorBjorn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I've read a few accounts of Wehrmacht veterans. Most seem to be submitted by German soldiers, commissioned or enlisted, who were largely apolitical. I their view, they were merely good soldiers fighting for their nation.

Wilhelm Pruller has submitted the only narative that is blatantly pro-National Socialist. In this diary, Pruller, an Austrian, shares his experiences in several campaigns. Most notably the invasion of Poland, and the final defense of Germany. This book gives one a bit of insight into the attitude of an average Wehrmacht soldier (in this case a junior officer) who was enthusiastic about Hitler's regime.

Pruller apparently shared the delusion with his fellow nazis, that somehow Germany would be saved by some undefined miracle. Where most Wehrmacht and even some S.S. members realized that Germany was finished, the fanatics were intent on beating a dead horse.

Certainly Wilhelm Pruller is deceased by now. The information on the author in this book stated that he was an alcoholic, living in Vienna, at the time of publication.
