With the German Guns: Four Years on the Western Front (Pen And Sword Military Classics Ser.)

Synopsis

&“An invaluable eye-witness account of life at the lower levels of the German Army during the First World War.&”—HistoryOfWar.org At once harrowing and lighthearted, Herbert Sulzbach&’s exceptional diary has been highly praised since its original publication in Germany in 1935. With the reprint of this classic account of trench warfare, it records the pride and exhilaration of what to him was the fight for a just cause. It is one of the very few available records of an ordinary German soldier during the First World War. &“One of the most notable books on the Great War. It is a book which finely expressed the true soldierly spirit on its highest level; the combination of a high sense of duty, courage, fairness and chivalry.&”—Sir Basil Liddell Hart &“Herbert Sulzbach&’s first person diary focuses on four years of trench warfare and is a valuable contribution to the overall individual story of the First World War, more so than many other such accounts perhaps, as the author was German.&”—OCAD Militaria Collectors Resources &“A first-class personal account of Herbert Sulzbach&’s war seen through his diaries. There is much insight into both his and the German soldier&’s attitude to war and events . . . a very readable narrative and adds to the library of sources that are invaluable to counter the legions of postmodern re-evaluations of the German soldier.&”—Battlefield Guide
