Story
Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a company of Tigers at Kursk. Later he led a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank). Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built.

Twilight of the Gods is destined to become a classic memoir of the Second World War.

Like many Germans, Berlin schoolboy Erwin Bartmann fell under the spell of the Zeitgeist cultivated by the Nazis. Convinced he was growing up in the best country in the world, he dreamt of joining the Leibstandarte, Hitler's elite Waffen SS unit. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and just 17-years-old, Erwin fulfilled his dream on Mayday 1941, when he gave up his apprenticeship at the Glaser bakery in Memeler Strasse and walked into the Lichterfelde barracks in Berlin as a raw, volunteer recruit.

The terrible months between the arrival of the Red Army on German soil and the final collapse of Hitler's regime were like no other in the Second World War. The Soviet Army's intent to take revenge for the horror that the Nazis had wreaked on their people produced a conflict of implacable brutality in which millions perished. From the great battles that marked the Soviet conquest of East and West Prussia to the final surrender in the Vistula estuary, this book recounts in chilling detail the desperate struggle of soldiers and civilians alike.

Story
The battle of Stalingrad was the turning point of World War II. The German capture of the city, their encirclement by Soviet forces shortly afterwards, and the hard-fought but futile attempts to relieve them, saw bitter attritional fighting and extremes of human misery inflicted on both sides. In this title, a renowned expert on warfare on the Eastern Front reveals the often-overlooked German counteroffensive post-Stalingrad, and how it prevented the whole Axis front line from collapsing.

As keeping a diary was strictly forbidden, he sewed the pages into the lining of his thick winter coat and deposited them with his mother on infrequent trips home on leave. The diary went missing, and it was when he was reunited with his daughter in America some 40 years later that it came to light and became Blood Red Snow.

Prit Buttar retraces the ebb and flow of the various battles and campaigns fought throughout the Ukraine and Romania in 1944. January and February saw Army Group South encircled in the Korsun Pocket. Although many of the encircled troops did escape, in part due to Soviet intelligence and command failures, the Red Army would endeavour to not make the same mistakes again. Indeed, in the coming months the Red Army would demonstrate an ability to learn and improve, reinventing itself as a war-winning machine, demonstrated clearly in its success in the Iasi-Kishinev operation.

Within days of the D-Day landings, the 'Das Reich' 2nd SS Panzer Division marched north through France to reinforce the front-line defenders of Hitler's Fortress Europe. Veterans of the bloodiest fighting of the Russian Front, 15,000 men with their tanks and artillery, they were hounded for every mile of their march by saboteurs of the Resistance and agents of the Allied Special Forces. Along their route they took reprisals so savage they will live forever in the chronicles of the most appalling atrocities of war.

Overlooked in this pantheon is another SS corps that never fought in the west or in Berlin but one that participated in many of the key battles fought on the Eastern Front during the last year of the war - the IV SS-Panzerkorps.

Dawn on Sunday, June 22, 1941 saw the opening onslaughts of Operation Barbarossa as German forces stormed forward into the Soviet Union. Few of them were to survive the five long years of bitter struggle. A posting to the Eastern Front during the Second World War was rightly regarded with dread by the German soldiers. They saw epic battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk, and yet it was a daily war of attrition which ultimately proved fatal for Hitler's ambition and the German military machine.

Summary
Until recent years, very little was known of the tens of thousands of foreign nationals from Norway, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, and Spain who served voluntarily in the military formations of the German army and the German Waffen-SS. In Kaisergruber's book, the listener discovers important issues of collaboration, the apparent contributions of the volunteers to the German war effort, their varied experiences, their motives, the attitude of the German High Command and bureaucracy, and the reaction to these in the occupied countries.
The combat experiences of the Walloons echoed those of the very best volunteer units of the Waffen-SS, although they shared equally in the collapse of the Third Reich in May 1945. Although unapologetic for his service, Kaisergruber makes no special claims for the German cause and writes not from any postwar apologia and dogma but instead from his firsthand observations as a young man experiencing war for the first time, extending far beyond what had been imaginable at the time. His observations of fellow soldiers, commanders, Russian civilians, and the battlefields prove poignant and telling.

If I could have given it less than 1star I would have. Truly dreadful excuse for a book. Don't waste your time. The end was terrible because it just stopped at a point in Spring 1944 leaving you without any idea what happened later.

A warning from history
‘We will not go to Taupse....’ was a captivating and intriguing account of one Wallonien SS volunteers experiences during the Second World War. Along the lines of many other similar ww2 German accounts, one could be almost duped into the soldierly “we were only following orders” line of thinking. If it weren’t for the fact that I caught a documentary featuring the author one evening. Piecing together his testimony, his more recent comments on television, and other historical knowledge - it’s easy to see that Kaisergruber is an unrepentant product of his time, loyal to his comrades and certainly the ideals they shared.
Attracted to the German army with the vigour of a young 1940s adolescent, Kaisergruber epitomised many of his generation who were duped by Nazi propaganda into a ‘rather the hammer than the anvil’ scenario. Choosing to be the last bastions against the scourge of Bolshevism and “international Jewery”. To this end, his book gives you an insight into the perspective of many foreign volunteers who made up the ranks of the German forces during the Second World War, certainly in greater numbers than their home countries would later wish to admit to.
It must however be remembered that the truth lays not always in what is said, but what is omitted, and Kaisergrubers account at the end of the war, and certainly post war does remain a little sketchy - or over embellished. To that end, I would recommend the listener seek further research into how POW’s were treated, and especially Waffen SS POWs, before taking Kaisergruber’s account as gospel fact, rather than a biased perspective of someone on the receiving end of a long term of imprisonment.

Self-Indulgent Nonsense
What the author fails to make clear is that the reason he sided with the Nazi Germans is because as a Catholic - he was conforming to the policy of the Vatican which supported fascism before, during and after WWII (assisting key Nazi War Criminals to flee to South America and escape justice). The Introduction, Foreword and Prelude, etc, attempt to justify the 'normalisation' fascism - which is an insult to the millions who died fighting this evil ideology! The author appears not to understand that Hitler's invasion of the USSR had to key objectives 1) eradication of the Slavic race, and 2) the destruction of Bolshevism. I suspect much of this memoir is a fabrication giving an idealised interpretation of the USSR. This author, if he fought for the Nazis at all, is an idiot or a very clever liar. The narrative is both tedious and monotonous and his assertion that Russian peasants helped these fascists whilst their sons, fathers and uncles were away in the Red Army 'fighting' the genocidal evil - is bizarre and a myth too far! Anyone with any genuine knowledge of the conditions surrounding this campaign will instinctively feel that something is very wrong with this narrative! If this author was ever in the USSR - then as a War Criminal - he contributed to the murder of between 27-40 million Soviet men, women and children!

A revealing insight
We forget the fact that some saw fit to join the German Army in order to fight the soviets. Little is discussed of Finland’s war against the Soviets with Germany as her ally.
This is interesting as it highlights the early years of the war and the conditions the occupied countries found themselves. Who can say how we would have responded had the war turned out differently.

Pretty good
Good story, but not a lot of specific details about combat. There’s plenty, but not told in a way that really brings it out (like some more notable memoirs do).
But definitely a good listen - you hear an honest thoughts and experiences of a non-German volunteer in the SS. Something you don’t get very often anywhere else - including the history books.

Good if incomplete experiences.
Interesting account of someone who thought they were protecting Europe from communism and even 40 years later doesn’t seem to realize he was committing treason against his own country or supporting a brutal anti Semitic and cruel dictatorship. His experiences are well described and interesting. I just wish he had discussed how he justified his support of Hitler, who he never mentions. Incredibly he tried to join either the French or Belgium army just before France fell! One wonders if he had, how would he have felt about Nazis and Hitler. Still worth listening to. I would like to her an interview with the author where he would be asked about his politics etc.
