The 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 2001

This 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 $15
