I’ve read it three times once in the 1980s and then last year. And again today after sajer transfered to infantry and completed training. As he describes the battle of belgerod in summer of 1943 I am thinking Guy sajer is in battle of Kursk.

And what I am thinking is sajer was a landser and as we all know as infantrymen you have no clue where your at higher ups make those decisions. And sajer first language was French,Just my observations.

As in how some question if this is authentic. I do think sajer served in Gross Deutschland I do not feel in reading this. That it should be taken as battle history of the GD on east front. But rather one mans personal experiences that were written after the war. Who perhaps struggled with the horror and memories of east front.
