The Forgotten Soldier - Part 1 of 3 | Audiobook World War 2

[@johnyhefner]

I’ve read this book about 20 times since my childhood. Unforgettable.

[@carnagehaunt]

I also read it years ago, a couple of times. To me, listening to it gave me a completely different experience with it. A bit more detailed perhaps? Did you have a similar experience? Just curious. Take care!

[@richardgoss4777]

I read this book over 20 years ago and I always go back to it whenever I feel like I'm having a hard time, just to remind me it could be much worse. Oh, young man, rejoice in thi youth.

[@ToddiusMaximus]

This is the greatest book from a personal experience I’ve ever read. I love this book so much. It puts together so eloquently the horrors of war

[@juliusdream2683]

In deadly combat by Gottlieb Beederman was also just as good same type of personal accounts and he was also a likable person.

[@echochamber4095]

My grandpa used this book a lot to explain the war even though he was an allied fighter he was also in contact with germans because he spent a year in captivity. Now that i read the book twice i finally understand the quality, its more than a history story its a call for humanity to rise above its monkey brain.

[@peterward5538]

One of my all time favorite books, narrated exquisitely by Derek Perkins. What a gem.

[@jameswebber2943]

one of the best books ever written. I KID YOU NOT

[@DrLoverLover]

its fiction though

[@BrianTenBeers]

I've read this book at least 6 times over the years since I found it in a book store.

[@guaporeturns9472]

Same here.. I re-read it every few yrs

[@barryb7682]

You are about to embark on the most incredible journey of literature / audiobook. The story is harrowing as it is brutal, but the literary style and penmanship is worthy of the best! I go as far as saying Guy Sajers book Forgotten Soldier is a WAY better piece of literature than Hemmingways Call To Arms and a notch above All Quiet On The Western Front. There, I said it.

Homer.

[@barryb7682]

@@budgiefriend Yes. Thank you. Predictive text & no poof read. LoL Removed the reference. Homer's book is also an epic tale, but not a story of WWI or WWII.

[@guaporeturns9472]

It is an epic story no doubt.

[@jerrymarshall2095]

Agree berry,the writing is a masterpiece

[@bookaufman9643]

So far I'd have to say this book is pretty amazing. I've read a lot of books on WWII and I read many diaries of the same struggle and this is a very different take. This writer is much more skilled and unusually I really like the guy. This is a multi-part audiobook and it's very long but at this point I'm looking forward to all of it. I read a review of it on Google when I was first starting at and there were some reviewers that thought it was one of the best books ever written about the second world war and there have been some really good ones. It's great to not read another book written by a pompous general who could have conquered Russia if only this or that hadn't happened.🎉

[@MrNaKillshots]

I have read it, but happy to listen again. It's that good.

[@a.nelprober-rl5cf]

Be quiet.

[@juliusdream2683]

😅true . I agree.

[@bookaufman9643]

There is a part of this story about 3 hours into this first segment where the author sort of breaks the fourth wall in addresses the audience about the best way to use language to understand the severity of being a soldier and war in general. It's beautifully written and is very unexpected. I'd seen this book before but had never heard anything about it. I'm extremely glad that I give it a chance. 🎉🎉🎉

“ Only the victors have stories to tell… We, The Vanquished, were all coward and weaklings by then. Whose memories, fears, and enthusiasms will not be remembered.”

[@Davidf8L]

Thanks again for your time ❤

[@TheWhitetailtracker]

I have read this book at least 5 times maybe more. Every time i always think of Hals and the relationships forges in war.

[@LJWalter78]

Great so far! I’m invested 🤙 Thanks for posting

Can someone please upload in deadly combat audiobook..it's just as good as this

[@tommybarr5528]

The book I remember saying read when in hardship or it’s not true to the author

[@bookaufman9643]

My dude is horrible with the ladies. It made me remember that he's just a teenager.

[@Hunter_Nebid]

Dudes also had manners and were raised right in those days.

[@juliusdream2683]

Very accurate account . Unfortunately these guy’s are the only people I feel understand the horrors I myself have been threw unfortunately maybe not the same incidents but the emotional insanity the lack of sleep 😴 not fun. I hope anyone who thinks war is glorious it’s a disgusting 🤢 putrid affair that’s it.

[@barryb7682]

There were many many more people who understood the horrors of war... but they perished.

Think yo should rename channel to mystery radio...

[@bookaufman9643]

The musical interlude at 6 hours and 15 minutes is just bizarre.😅

[@LJWalter78]

The music really matches the situation. Instrumental Cool jazz while running for cover from bomber squadrons….

[@bookaufman9643]

If you like the music then just wait. I think it happens two more times in the next videos in the series.

[@jeffkuhn3439]

Sometimes music is put in odd places to help break up the story to fool the YT algorithms looking for copyrighted material.

WHY ARE YOU PRIVATING ALL YOUR AUDIOBOOKS??

[@csonracsonra9962]

Because KZbin will take it down for plagiarism or whatever copyright

[@wdobni]

its a story of pain and torture, both physical and mental....its not like anything in the modern western world, its more like a story about genghis khan or attila the hun .... this young german soldier tries to portray himself and his cause as somewhere halfway between reasonable/noble and also suffering victim unreasonably tormented by cruel and heartless enemies.....the germans of his era were like the japanese of the era, warlike and imperialistic, and nothing good came from it for anybody.

Total fiction, but enjoyable

[@gilbertkohl6991]

A fictional book that effects so many people? A fictional book on the USMC Commandant must read list? Perhaps, since the KJV Bible is also beloved. Free Will, your choice. Path through Life.

[@johnmilligan6605]

a very sanitized version of the worst crime in human history .

[@josephleinhauser6130]

The worst crimes committed against humanity in recorded history were those committed by the communist dictatorships in China and the Soviet Union. Together they are responsible for an estimated 100 million deaths (on the low end). This book is about the experiences of a single German soldier on the eastern front.
