Favorite WW2 German memoir?

[Westmark]

For the Afrika Korps read Panzer Battles by Major General F.W. von Mellenthin. He was a staff officer with Rommel and gives you a high tactics look at the war. I have not seen one written by the average Joe.

The Forgotten Soldier --- wasn't that book written by a communist and has been found to be fiction - facts not adding up to reality, no mention of weapons in detail, a long pro communist, pro Russian diatribes???? I have stayed away because I was told this.

One book that really impressed me was Sergeant in the Snow about an Italian machine gunner during the retreat from Stalingrad - good book and fairly short - I would check it out.

The Forgotten Soldier was hardly a pro-communist/pro-Russian diatribe. I didn't see this in this book. Whether it is ficticious or not, I don't know.

Hitler's Table Talk

How about "Hitler's Table Talk 1941- 1944" by Adolf Hitler, ed by Hugh Trevor- Roper? The closest thing to a Hitler memoir that exists.
