ÊTRE SOLDAT D'HITLER
The daily life of German soldiers from 1939 to 1945.
There has never been a book like this one before. As the subject of countless texts, the German Army's campaigns and battles during WWII are well known.
What remains to be studied is how the war was actually experienced by German soldiers, whichever corps they belonged to: what was their daily life, what were the conditions on the front lines or further back? Did they have an advantage over their adversaries? In a limpid writing style, the author examines the many and various situations experienced in all latitudes, from generals to Messerschmitt pilots, from administrators in
Paris to Panzer tank crewmembers.
The question of dishonorable submission to the Nazi regime is the central one: did being a Wehrmacht or Waffen SS soldier at Hitler's service mean being a solider like any other? This book focuses in particular on the army's degree of Nazification, the question of relations with civilian populations, and, consequently, on the crimes of the Third Reich.
BENOÎT RONDEAU, a specialist in the Wehrmacht, has had several books published, including Afrikakorps.
L'armée de Rommel (Afrikakorps: Rommel's Army); Invasion. Le Débarquement vécu par les Allemands (Invasion: the Landing as Seen by the Germans), both at Editions Tallandier, and, at Perrin, Rommel.
