BLOOD, DUST AND SNOW: Diaries of a Panzer Commander in Germany and on the Eastern Front

1-235370

A brutally honest, immediate, and unfiltered personal account about the war on the Eastern Front by Oberleutnant Friedrich Wilhelm Sander of the 11th Panzer-Regiment. This regiment made up the core of the 6th Panzer Division, which was involved in most of the major campaigns on the Eastern Front; campaigns such as Operation Barbarossa and Operation Winter Storm. Includes 150+ photos and include maps. Recently-discovered diaries cover the period from April 1938 to December 1943 and also offer insight into the mind of a young and highly politicized officer in the close-knit community of a German Panzer crew.
