Best book on someone's personal account of Vietnam that I've read was Brave Men, about Colonel David Hackworth U.S. Army (Ret.).

C. Evans--- I have a documentary I recorded off the History Channel called "Suicide Missions-Sniper." Major Koenigs' can be seen in documentary footage at the Sniper school in Berlin. Also, the duel between he and Zaitsev is discussed as well. Hard to believe any of this is fabricated, but will look for other info since you mmentioned it.

Lastly, Paulus had the rank of Field Marshal bestowed upon him by Hitler 2? days before surrendering at Stalingrad.
