All he says is PAK From the pictures it looks like he served as a driver-gunner with a 7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun. In 1943 he is wounded but returns to duty From the book he served all the time on the Eastern front but he is eventfully captured by the Americans late in the war. Here is the extraordinary story of one man's war. This book portrays the gradual awakening in the mind of a young Hitler Youth 'educated' soldier of a Panzer Division, bogged down in the bitterest fighting on the Eastern Front, to the truth of the criminal character of what he is involved in. Having in mind that about 9 out of 10 German soldiers who died in WWII were killed in Russia, the book throws light on the largely unreported heroic sacrifices of Soviet soldiers and civilians often against seemingly hopeless odds, without which Europe might well have fallen to fascism. It deals less with grand strategies, tactics and military technicalities than with the human involvement of ordinary people, from both sides, who were caught up in that enormity of a tragedy, that epic struggle in Russia. It throws light on the chasm which existed between officers and men in the sharply class-divided Wehrmacht with most of the top rank officers having been drawn from the old imperial aristocracy.
