If you want to truly understand what it was like for German soldiers during the summer 1942 campaign and the battle inside Stalingrad's industrial district, this book is for you.

It is a  a more streamlined version of Into Oblivion by stripping out a lot of the technical jargon and focusing on the personal struggles of the soldiers. This shifted the book away from a unit history of 305th Pioneer Battalion to a more general account of a band of German soldiers embroiled in Eastern Front combat. All 100% factual. It shows the effect of battle not just on the soldiers, but also their families.
