A German Soldier the story of Lieutenant Hohberg, a story that wasn't easy to read.

Lieutenant Hohberg has fought many battles, first with the French. Now, after receiving a promotion, his new job is not as easy as before. The lack of things that will help him and others survive this Cold War is not flowing as he needed, making his advances and movements even harder than before.

many obstacles show up in his path, the russings, the enemies, the supplies every single thing is not working as he wanted but he is determined to survive and keep himself and his fellows alive.

a magnificent story, the story of Lieutenant Hohberg, a book that will captivate you but simultaneously bring you to tears and anxious emotions with Hohberg's story.

Thank you, Netgalley and Pen & Sword | Pen & Sword Military, for the advanced copy of A German Soldier on the Eastern Front: A First-Hand Account of the Beginnings of Operation Barbarossa in exchange for my honest review

This is a fast-paced, gripping account of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, related through the eyes of a German artillery officer on the Eastern Front in 1941. With the brutal Russian winter approaching, Lt. Hohberg finds himself out of supply while awaiting tank support for his unit on their advance to the Donets.
Well written and descriptive, an interesting perspective from Wehrmacht position.
Readers interested in WWII accounts will love this book! I certainly did!
I'd like to sincerely thank Pen and Sword publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this galley!
