Until recent years, very little was known of the tens of thousands of foreign nationals from Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, and Spain who served voluntarily in the military formations of the German army and the German Waffen-SS. In Kaisergruber's book, the listener discovers important issues of collaboration, the apparent contributions of the volunteers to the German war effort, their varied experiences, their motives, the attitude of the German High Command and bureaucracy, and the reaction to these in the occupied countries.

The combat experiences of the Walloons echoed those of the very best volunteer units of the Waffen-SS, although they shared equally in the collapse of the Third Reich in May 1945. Although unapologetic for his service, Kaisergruber makes no special claims for the German cause and writes not from any postwar apologia and dogma but instead from his firsthand observations as a young man experiencing war for the first time, extending far beyond what had been imaginable at the time. His observations of fellow soldiers, commanders, Russian civilians, and the battlefields prove poignant and telling.

Good story! I found the part at the end about the end of the war and his navigation of the end before capture and his time in prison to be the most intriguing. As I was unaware of certain facets.

Good insight

This story is of Dutch men who fought for the Germans against the Soviets. They were mot Nazis but boys seeking adventure. In hindsight it all seems so foolish, yet they stuck it out. Nothing is more honorable then doing one's duty not for some ideal but for a comrade.

Simply a good story

It was a great audiobook, but why did it end at Cherkassy? I wanted to hear the story until the end. I guess that I will have to buy the book

Why did it end at Cherkassy?

Interesting account of someone who thought they were protecting Europe from communism and even 40 years later doesn’t seem to realize he was committing treason against his own country or supporting a brutal anti Semitic and cruel dictatorship. His experiences are well described and interesting. I just wish he had discussed how he justified his support of Hitler, who he never mentions. Incredibly he tried to join either the French or Belgium army just before France fell! One wonders if he had, how would he have felt about Nazis and Hitler. Still worth listening to. I would like to her an interview with the author where he would be asked about his politics etc.

Good if incomplete experiences.

Good story, but not a lot of specific details about combat. There’s plenty, but not told in a way that really brings it out (like some more notable memoirs do).

But definitely a good listen - you hear an honest thoughts and experiences of a non-German volunteer in the SS. Something you don’t get very often anywhere else - including the history books.

Pretty good

Very good and very well written! A must read for history buffs! A very good glimpse into the life of a WWII soldier on the eastern front before and after the war!

Really good book!

Going story with great detail about those who fought with the Germans from the defeated Western European countries. The author has no remorse for the wrong gs of the Nazis

Great detail
