    I really loathed the book. I feel that Kurowski had committed the cardinal sin in using original sources, that is he did not evaluate what was told to him critically. Some of the descriptions of a solider single-handedly destroy 20 Russian tanks (literally as his unit was supposed to be scattered) in one engagement, and the comments made by the interviewed German soliders about the supposed mendacity of charges of war crime, and the humane treatment of Russians the Germans gave, reeks of revisionism.

    I've read Infantry Aces, and Panzer Aces 1 and 2. Great books... just great.
