Blood Red Snow: The Memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern Front
ISBN: 9780760321980 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the German soldier fighting under Hitler, keeping a diary was strictly forbidden.

Left with his mother on his rare trips home, this illicit diary eventually was lost--and did not come to light until some 40 years later when Koschorrek was reunited with his daughter in America. It is this remarkable document, a unique day-to-day account of the common German soldier's experience, that makes up the memoir that is Blood Red Snow.
