Vergiss die Zeit der Dornen nicht

Günter K. Koschorrek was not a commander, not a scientist or historian. In his book, he summarizes what he recorded daily as a simple soldier amidst the horrors of war. His experience of war was different from that of the staff or command posts. The author was 19 years old when the war caught up with him in its worst phase and took him into its relentless grip. He had to obey and not question why. The Nazi regime, which pursued its goals ruthlessly, had taken an entire generation under oath and exploited their ideals shamefully. The author recounts his experiences in a diary-like manner, straightforwardly and objectively, achieving a profound authenticity that resonates deeply. This revised new edition of the work has been enriched with numerous, some previously unpublished, images.
