5.0 out of 5 stars fasinating insight, 10 Jan 2005

By A Customer

An excellent book, Poppel served in most of the theatres (not Cassino though) that the German Paras were used, and his views on the allied soldiers, tactics and weapons make a different viewpoint. It gives a great taste of what it must have been like for a soldier in one of the newest arms of modern warfare.

I was also pleased to see he didnt gloss over or deny his enthusiasm for the war and the Nazi party, which led him to being a high category prisoner when captured by the British.

The change in his outlook is all too obvious as the war drags on, which makes it very interesting reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent war diary, 9 Jan 2008

By	Mr. A. Sagar-goldsmith (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the best war diaries I have read. No bull, just facts from a personal point of view. An interesting perspective of a german's service during WW2. Some good photographs accompany the narative too. Excellent!
