Can one become a soldier of the Wehrmacht or the Waffen-SS in the service of Hitler and remain a soldier like any other? How is this soldier trained, commanded, equipped? What are his relations with civilians? How does he experience the war? Does he behave like soldiers of other armies? What is his degree of Nazification?
It is to these questions, among many others, that Benoît Rondeau responds in this groundbreaking work, which sets out to describe the daily life and experience of the German soldier on every front and regardless of the branch to which he belonged.
With a clear and lucid pen, the author traces very diverse careers lived under every latitude — from the general to the Messerschmitt pilot, from the administrator in Paris to the Panzer tank crewman — and does not shy away from the thorny question of the post-war image and legacy of this controversial force. In doing so, he offers a fresh study of an army about which we thought we knew everything.
