Kai, his book is an excellent book. I bought a copy several months ago and loved reading it. I have to say that the only part I was a tad bit bored on was when he was in the Afrika Korps--but the rest of the book more than made up for it. I especially liked reading about his experiance as a POW in Russia and then reading about what he did after his release and in later years.

I rank this book just below what I would rank SOLDAT at. Panzer General by Mellinthin was excellent too. One i suggest to try by Henry Metelmann is: Through Hell for Hitler and then another I suggest is by a member of the H.J. called: Berlin Dance of Death. You will not be dissappointed.
