Willi: Diary of a Young Lieutenant
By Michelle Kaiser
The book:
A personal history of World War II
A diary, containing eye-witness reports of a young German officer
stationed on WWIIs Russian front in 1941/42, was re-discovered
in a safe where it was stored for sixty years.
Canadian author Michelle Kaiser lovingly compiled these notes
into a personal not political documentary of the
events, people, and places of the Russian campaign. The facts
are confirmed by previously published British and American historians
and excerpts from the diaries of several German generals.
This fast paced, gripping, and sometimes heart wrenching story
keeps readers mesmerized. Maps, footnotes and illustrations help
to bring everything to life.
