The first book of D Day Through German Eyes has fascinated listeners around the world with its insight into the German experience of June 6, 1944. Now, book 2 contains a completely different set of astonishing German testimonies from the same archive.
These newly translated eyewitness statements by German veterans show the defenders to be determined but psychologically insecure, often deluded in their thinking, and all too human in their shock at the onslaught they faced. These unique interviews with German soldiers are a historical treasure trove of new insights, heart-stopping combat stories, and glimpses of wartime psychology that will absorb anyone with an interest in WW2.
Excellent follow up book I ‘follow’ this publisher on Amazon, so I got an alert when this new book came out. And what a fascinating read, too. The accounts are actually more diverse than in book 1 (here there’s a Luftwaffe airman, an MP and a technical artillery officer in addition to the panzer crews and infantry) and this gives a real all-round perspective on the 6th June 1944 from the German side. This book is much longer than the previous too.Â

More fiction? As with the first book, I think this is probably fiction.Â
