When Guy Sajer joins the infantry full of ideals in the summer of 1942, the German army is enjoying unparalleled success in Russia. However, he quickly finds that for the foot soldier the glory of military success hides a much harsher reality of hunger, fatigue, and constant deprivation. Posted to the elite Grosse Deutschland division, with its sadistic instructors who shoot down those who fail to make the grade, he enters a violent and remorseless world where all youthful hope is gradually ground down, and all that matters is the brute will to survive. As the biting cold of the Russian winter sets in, and the tide begins to turn against the Germans, life becomes an endless round of pounding artillery attacks and vicious combat against a relentless and merciless Red Army. Sajer's perspective as a German foot soldier makes The Forgotten Soldier a unique war memoir, the book that the Christian Science Monitor said "may well be the book about World War II which has been so long awaited." A work of stunning force, this is an unforgettable reminder of the horrors of war.… (altro)
VonKar: Weliswaar een andere Wereldoorlog, maar eveneens een persoonlijk relaas van de gruwelen van de oorlog. Ernst Jünger ziet er nog een heroïsche kant in; bij Sajer is er enkel harde realiteit.
Very good. However not four stars, nearer 3.5. Sajer could have slowed the pace a little bit. He never gets back to Paula at all and he accepts, at face value, some huge German lies. ( )
Estremecedor relato autobiográfico de un soldado de infantería alemán durante la segunda guerra mundial. Escrito de manera sencilla y directa, Guy Sajer nos traslada al frente del Este durante los años de 1942 a 1945. Todo el relato esta escrito desde la perspectiva de un soldado raso, apenas adolescente, y que va siendo consciente poco a poco de la gran tragedia en la que se ve envuelto.
Long but well-written "memoir" of a French-German boy drafted into the German army during the big war. Very bloody at times. There is a question whether it's actually non-fiction or fiction but it is still a good long read. The author had to have had battle experience, in my opinion. ( )
Another holiday read. Interesting from a factual point of view but lacks something. I liked it but found it too easy to put down. Hence the three stars. ( )
