1984The Allies' tireless efforts to conquer the heights of
Monte Cassino, the monastery which was a strategic Italian strong
point held by units of the German army. The terrain is virtually
impassable: a long spine of steep mountains with narrow littorals and
rivers draining from the spine -- a formidable natural area on which
the Germans had skillfully improved. Wherever Allied forces tried to
climb, the Germans had perfect cover and observation points. The
Allies, able to utilize only a few rutted roads, found themselves
endlessly fighting their way across rivers, always under the guns of
the German fortifications above them. The battles for Monte Cassino
were among the bitterest of World War II. A total of 80,000 Allied
troops were killed or wounded, as were at least 55,000 Germans.

Metelmann, HenryTHROUGH HELL FOR HITLER : A Dramatic
first-hand account of Fighting on the Eastern Front with the
WehrmachtCasemate 2001This book portrays the gradual
awakening in the mind of a young Hitler Youth `educated' soldier of a
Panzer Division, bogged down in the bitterest fighting on the Eastern
Front, to the truth of the criminal character of what he was involved
in. Having in mind that about 9 out of 10 German soldiers who died
in WWII were killed in Russia, the book throws light on the largely
unreported heroic sacrifices of Soviet soldiers and civilians often
against seemingly hopeless odds, without which Europe might well have
fallen to fascism. It deals less with grand strategies, tactics and
military technicalities than with the human involvement of ordinary
people, from both sides, who were caught up in that enormity of a
tragedy, the epic struggle in Russia. It also throws light on the
chasm which existed between officers and m!
en in the sharply class-divided Wehrmacht with most of the top rank
officers having been drawn from the old imperial aristocracy. He
served in the 22nd Panzer Division. Photos, 208 pages. 1st VG/VG
