Balkan Nightmare

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

In this biographical account, Wittmann chronicles the wartime journey of a young Romanian Waffen-SS conscript. Wittmann follows his struggle through some of the most ferocious theatres of World War II up to the day of Germany's unconditional surrender, only to find that the young Romanian's Balkan nightmare had only begun. The soldier continues to suffer through a high-security internment camp in Italy and experience further hunger and alienation in the post-war chaos of West Germany. Offering a cultural study of Saxon life during Wold War II as well as a unique view of the conflict through the eyes of a Waffen-SS conscript, Wittmann has managed to appeal to the military historian and general reader alike.
