5.0 out of 5 stars At last, a view of war from the turret of a tank!, 5 May 2008
By B. Fairbank (Madison WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those of you who are keen to read about the fighting on the Eastern Front 1944/45, from the point of view of a German tank crew member, then look no further than this book!

The author was born to ethnic German parents in Canada, and was promptly shipped back to Nazi Germany in early 1939 with his brothers, to help the Third Reich! He ended up learning German, joining the Army, and serving with a Panzer Division fighting the Russians.

This account is humourous, and also detailed, with plenty of technical information about the two vehicles in which the author served, the Panzer IV and Jagdpanzer IV tank hunter. I'm afraid to say that the gentleman who has also placed a review of this book on Amazon must be reading a different book to me! His bizarre and completely inaccurate comment that the Tiger primer is included in this book is wrong. The author uses short extracts from Panzer gunnery manuals to illustrate how he worked his gun in combat.

There are plenty gems of information, and superb accounts of tank combat against the Russians at the end of the war, about which very little has been published in German or English. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Ducks Tale, 25 May 2009
By M. Smith "Old fart got smart" (oop North) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Blimey! Where do we start with this one? Bit of a curate's egg to be sure. Truth is the really interesting bit's would just be a couple of chapters but, in fairness they are worth the price of the book He is clearly a bright chap and was more importantly lucky when it mattered both in and out of the war however, author he is not, at times the writing is laboured and it's often haphazard with time lines, some of the repetition is difficult to understand too. I haven't read much about panzer crews - Tigers in the Mud and a few others but I would like to read more about the average crews not just the aces - and I guess this is it albeit a little brief with the action and little detail to speak of re the rest of the crew. They often seem like total strangers - perhaps they were. I get the feeling the Jadgpanzer IV was not to his liking outside of the gun maybe he would of preferred the Panther , who wouldn't ! However it does seem to backup the term Guderian's Ente.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why?, 5 May 2008
By Tony B (Kent UK) - See all my reviews
There seem to be many of the 'My friend's have seen my diary and think I should publish it' books on the military market at the moment. If there is an intresting story and a proffesional advice is sought , it may work. In this case neither seems to have happned and it dosent. Included in the text is a translation of the Tiger Primer, a humouous traing manual of the time on tank gunnery. Translation of any technical manual is difficult, military manuals also rely on practical training and in jokes, in this case, while I do not doubt the language is corect, it doesen't work, and the poem that is included in the text just makes no sense. The book is described by the publisher's as 'Conversational' I'd use the word 'Rambaling' . The text makes no sense with bits apparently chucked in at random. The overall impression I got was of the rambalings of an old man trying to justify his existence, and a nasty feeling that he was gloating on the killing and mayhem he was partly responsible for.

4.0 out of 5 stars It should have been 5 stars...
but for the writers idiosyncratic style and the 'book within a book'.

I started off giving this book 2 stars, then went to 3, now I'm giving 4 with a hint at 5... Read more
