I never would have made any other decision. The military was the career I had always wanted. I had never even remotely considered or thought of dedicating my life to anything else. I had been bred for the army; I could not even begin to imagine doing anything else with my life.This realization forced me to finally admit that my self-worth and self-satisfaction were derived from being a German officer, serving my country honorably while trying my best to limit the senseless madness behind this war. I had had the misfortune to be born at the wrong time, to serve in the wrong war, to have sworn allegiance to the F hrer. I had done what I could to serve the honorable traditions of the Wehrmacht while minimizing the under lying darkness of this war. While I had served honorably, I knew the war's final result would be the same for me.***The year is 1941, as the war in North Africa rages on, Major Rolf Krengel witnesses the consequences of wishing he had never been born.
