Loved It !

This is the companion book to Panzer Aces, which I must admit I did like a little better than this one. Never the less, this is a great book that describes hundreds of encounters, both small and large in a very exciting and intersting fashion. It is now one of my favorites.

Awesome

For once, there is a book on the German point of view. Action packed and believable battle scenes galore! A must have!

Priceless pieces of history told by those who experienced it

This book is action packed with true stories from German Vets. The action ranges from Frozen hell of the Eastern front to slowing the Allied advance in the West. From the Iron cross second class to the Knights cross with Oakleaves... These men risked everything for there comrades, family and country! For a low price this book is a steal! Great buy!!...

Infantry Aces: The German Soldier in World War II

This was a book that once you started reading it was very hard to put down. The book follows about a dozen highly decorated German soldiers on their fighting experiences during World War II. Most of the fighting deals on the Eastern front. This book is backed full of "in your face" combat at close quarters. When reading these experiences, one is amazed that anyone could survive such brutal combat conditions. A must read for the serious student of World War II infantry fighting.
