    Six months before World War II erupted in 1939, Bruno Friesen was sent to Germany by his father in hopes of a better life.

Serving as a gunner in a Panzer IV tank and then a Jagdpanzer IV tank destroyer, Friesen experienced intense combat against the Soviets in Romania, Lithuania, and West Prussia.

      The only interesting thing about the author is the strange circumstances he was thrown into. The rest of the story is very mundane, almost interesting in its lack of colour. The book itself is rather badly written, stories go nowhere, there is no thoughtful analysis or reflection, technical information is selectively crammed in for no reason or benefit. It's worthwhile only because it's a genuine story of the war from an unusual perspective.

      4/5
      Interesting first-hand look at life in the Panzerwaffe, with a twist
