And inside Hitler's bunker during The Battle of Berlin. World War II through the eyes of a solider of the Reich.Siegfried Knappe fought, was wounded, and survived battles in nearly every major Wehrmacht campaign. His astonishing career begins with Hitler's rise to power-and ends with a five-year term in a Russian prison camp, after the Allies rolled victoriously into the smoking rubble of Berlin. The enormous range of Knappe's fighting experiences provides an unrivaled combat history of World War II, and a great deal more besides.Based on Knappe's wartime diaries, filled with 16 pages of photos he smuggled into the West at war's end, Soldat delivers a rare opportunity for the reader to understand how a ruthless psychopath motivated an entire generation of ordinary Germans to carry out his monstrous schemes. And offers stunning insight into the life of a soldier in Hitler's army.' World War II from inside the Wehrmacht.'
- Kirkus Reviews. The book is a memoir of Siegfried Knappe, who ended the war as a Major and was taken captive by the Russians. In many respects his war experience is a typical journey of a career Wehrmacht officer who went through the ranks under the Nazis. The memoir is going back and forth in time, which I found distracting. Knappe wrote diaries and took photographs, so his recall is very good, and I think he'd be better served to keep the memoir in chronological order.For me the most interesting part of the The book is a memoir of Siegfried Knappe, who ended the war as a Major and was taken captive by the Russians.

Knappe wrote diaries and took photographs, so his recall is very good, and I think he'd be better served to keep the memoir in chronological order.For me the most interesting part of the book is NOT Knappe's war-time experience, but the five years he spent in Russian camps. The camps he went to were not your ordinary labor camps, but rather camps for political prisoners, holding high-ranking German officers and intellectuals. Knappe was probably the least political guy in there and was able to maneuver to position himself in a neutral corner, which was not the case for many other POWs. Some became Activists and collaborated with the Russians, others would throw themselves to opposition, but most would remain neutral and tried their best to stay alive.
Many would die, executed for war crimes or sent to hard labor GULAG style camps.There are some high-ranking Wehrmacht officers and war heroes mentioned in the book. I won't preview the names to avoid the spoilers. I'm just going to say that for history buffs there are a lot of cross references to well-known historical figures that Knappe bumped into during his five years in Russian captivity.Overall, the memoir is an interesting read. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a first-hand German war experience.
