The Soldier's Story: WWII German Infantryman

"The Soldier's Story" series describes the way that the ordinary soldier lived, fough and died in different battles and conflicts.

Using archival and re-enactment photographs, and contemporary accounts in official documents, letters, diaries and contemporary reportage, these books portray what it was like for ordinary men to be thrust into battle and into the most extreme conditions they had ever to face. "WWII German Infantryman" examines the life of the average Landser, the German foot soldier, who - in the remote unlikelihood that he survived - could have fought through the blitzkrieg, inthe North African desert and in the horrific frozen wastes of Russia against the most implacable foes.
