These are very interesting - thank you for presenting them! Are you able to share the sources of these memoirs? Is each episode a direct citation from a diary or diaries or post-war memoirs from a single person? Or is each episode a compilation of several soldiers’ memoirs that create a composite character, while keeping the facts accurate? I am very interested in your answer - thanks very much in advance!

Lived in Germany in the early 1970’s, working with several former WWII vets. One guy was captured in Stalingrad and spent 9 years as a POW in Russia, rebuilding the same city as a prisoner. Another still had his Waffen SS blood type tattoo on his arm. They were all hard working men. None talked about the war, but when asked why they joined Hilter they all had the same answer - “Wie wir manner der Zeit” (we were men of the times.). That said, don’t think for one minute that you would not have done the same thing as a young man in 1939.

This information is incorrect. They're naming the wrong general in the battle of the Seelow Heights. The person in charge was General Heinrici. He was the man who moved the line back so that the initial artillery landed in mostly empty trenches. This is a historical fact.

Do you know about hierarchy of command? Henrici was in charge of Army group Vistula but there were many other generals subordinate to him, all the names I've heard so far are legitimate.

He may have been ordering about units that no longer existed on his maps, but he knew perfectly well that the front was nowhere near Russia. That he shot himself should leave no one in any doubt about this.

They should have withdrawn on the Western front, thrown all of their resources into staving off the Soviet advance and then surrendered to the Americans. It would have gone a lot better for them, unfortunately Mr mustache man's ego wouldn't allow that. He blamed the Germans for the loss of the war at the end, by the way. He had a responsibility to minimalize the casualties to his own people and he failed to do so.
