As for their men, they ranged from élite Waffen-SS stormtroopers through to bewildered teenagers, old men, ‘recycled’ invalids and even anti-communist Eastern legions. The horrors of the battle, the fear and also the compassion present on the German side are presented without varnish in these memories of ordinary soldiers, many of whom thought they were defending a united Europe and couldn't understand why the Allies wanted to kill them. Written from the 'other side' and told through the words of the veterans, this book is a revelation.

Ne samo sjajnih opisa borbi, iz kojih je jasno da to da li si u ratu preživeo ili ne, određuje tvoj oprez, ali iznad svega sreća. This is a short graphic compilation of the average German solider's perspective of multiple beach landings on D-day. Mixed feelings about this, interesting enough to read although it does get a little repetitive across the five interviews.A quick but important look at how things seemed from the German side of the battles that took place on D Day, this is a book I’d recommend. Now Caine delves into the real stories behind the gangs we think we know so well, revealing the hidden realities behind the myths.

The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning. Each describes in vivid detail the effect on their own comrades, the type of wounds inflicted and the destruction of many of their colleagues who were virtually vaporised. We see a perspective of D Day which deserves to be added to the historical record, in which ordinary German troops struggled to make sense of the onslaught that was facing them, and emerged stunned at the weaponry and sheer determination of the Allied soldiers.

Having read and watched a lot from the allies' POV, it was interesting to hear the information the average German soldier knew about the landing, and how they as an individual and as a larger group reacted when the shells started to fall. The turret came off and my friend's dad picked it up, saw that it was made from and inverted Maxwell House Coffee can and it said, "Made in Japan," and he threw it out!
