Description
The author, a passionate hunter who also tells of many a hunt in his book, describes in detail the time of upheaval in Austria (1938), in which he played an active part. In 1941, the Waffen-SS-Untersturmführer (lieutenant) Karl Fucker, who had volunteered for the war, was transferred to the Arctic Sea Front in Karelia as a mountain hunter. He vividly describes the long journey to the far north and the climatic adversities (up to minus 43 degrees!) to which the soldiers were exposed.
He used the quiet time to hunt (bears, among other things). After working as a staff officer for the Waffen-SS and police in Groß-Berlin, he enlisted in Otto Skorzeny's SS hunting units in 1944 and was put in charge of setting up the SS hunting unit "Mitte". At the beginning of 1945, the hunting units fought near Schwedt on the Oder to form a bridgehead there. Shortly before the end of the war, Fucker was ordered to the "Alpine Fortress", where he was to arrest Hermann Göring, among others. A detailed account of the liberation of the Duce in 1943 at the Gran Sasso in the appendix of the book concludes the account of his experiences.
