This edition actually combines two water cover books. The first is the memoirs of Hans Scheufler, a direct participant in the last battles of 1945, the former chief of communications of the 35th Panzer Regiment, then the 4th Panzer Division. This is a lively narrative of the experience, filled with personal impressions and assessments. This explains the fact that the author is far from always objective - this is also a reflection of the views of that circle of people, that era, that history.
