It is a rare stroke of luck for anyone interested in history to come across original records by contemporary witnesses. The armoured infantryman Otto Will wrote regular letters and kept a diary as a simple soldier, company squad leader and reconnaissance squad leader during his deployment on the Eastern Front in the 5th Panzer Division within the framework of Heeresgruppe Mitte from 1941 to 1945. Based on his own letters and notes from the war years, the highly decorated author gives a gripping account of the hard everyday life at the front as well as life in the rear army area.
