Gesichter des Krieges

This book is the result of a historical search for clues. On the basis of letters, photographs and Wehrmacht files, the operational history of the Machine Gun Battalion 10 (M10) and its members is reconstructed and placed in the larger historical context of the war years 1939 - 1945. The contemporary letters and photographs provide individual insights into the events of the war and the inner life of a group of men. They document their experiences and sensitivities during several years of service in various theatres of war in Western and Eastern Europe.
