Blood Red Snow The Memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern Front

For the German soldier fighting under Hitler, keeping a diary was strictly forbidden. So Gunther Koschorrek, a fresh young recruit, wrote his notes on whatever scraps of paper he could find and sewed the pages into the lining of his winter coat. Left with his mother on his rare trips home, this illicit diary eventually was lost--and did not come to light until some 40 years later when Koschorrek was reunited with his daughter in America. It is this remarkable document, a unique day-to-day account of the common German soldier's experience, that makes up the memoir that is Blood Red Snow.Koschorrek, Gunther K. is the author of 'Blood Red Snow The Memoirs of a German Soldier on the Eastern Front', published 2005 under ISBN 9780760321980 and ISBN 0760321981.
