German Infantryman at War 1939 - 1945
George Forty
This book looks at the lot of the average Landser, the German
"Grunt", who fought through Blitzkrieg, in the Western Desert,
and in the horrific frozen wastes of Russia against the most
implacable of foes.

and have not been published before, many from Feldwebel Gerhard
Sandmann who joined the German Army at Northeim in September
1939 and fought from May 9, 1940, through Belgium, Holland, and
France. He was then involved in the capture of the Channel Islands,
saw service on the Eastern Front, was wounded, convalesced in Berlin
before seeing service in the Occupation Army in Holland. He was
captured by the U.S. Army in Belgium in 1944.
WWll German Infantryman at War uses experiences such as these to
evoke what World War II was like at the sharp end by way of the
soldiers’ own stories and images.
