The cover of the book is quite neat.

Some background notes

Just a note on the book. (I am copying this to another forum as well.) Hermann Pfaeffle, the author, just turned 95 years-old on June 8. (born in 1915) It was a pleasure to work with him on this very different kind of book from Winidore Press. His mind is still sharp even after having gone through the hell of the Eastern Front and then some sixty-five years hence. Hermann was a Panzer officer and served for the duration of the German-Russian war. For his birthday, only two other individuals from his high school could be located and invited to the celebration, but alas, one was too frail to travel and the other could not make it for some other reason. I began working with him as the editor on the book in 2007, when he was a spry 92. I am glad to see he has lived to fulfill his dream of a published memoir. There were of course no guarantees, and everyday the clock ticked the work went on in earnest. I think for those of you interested in the everyday activities and trials of Reconnaissance troops on the Eastern Front this story will find its mark. It is a look at a smaller picture, not the overall scheme of things, although the story of course follows the plight of the German Army. For more information and some photos of the interior visit www.winidorepress.com. I'd like to express my appreciation to Birgit and Dietrich Maerz, Gabor Tischler, Dr. Hajagos Zsolt, Andor Mikula and Larry Tekoeti for their invaluable assistance with some of the contents of the book.

Having just finished a book on the diaries of another 17.Panzer Division soldier, this book is a must for me. The book looks great and I look forward to reading it.

17.Panzer Division was a good unit and has not had the historical coverage it deserves.

I bought the book last weekend and I am about 1/3 through. It is a great read with many personal stories that makes the eastern front come alive. It is not a typical shot 'em up book, but the stories show life on the eastern front.
