I thought I knew some about all the different elements at war in Europe in the thirties and forties. I was very wrong. I never knew there were groups of loyal Russians, that is loyal to the regime before the communists . They fought on the side of the Germans and in the mix were the Spanish soldiers who were also involved. This book is a true story of one such Russians war experiences and unaltered opinions. It is refreshing in its truth and startling in its revelations. Anyone who thinks they have heard it all about the Second World war should read this.
