The author stood as a medical officer of the Waffen-SS in front of Leningrad in 1941, fought at Lake Volchov and Lake Ladoga, was a site doctor in Greece and took part in the retreat battles in Banat and Hungary. Among the particularly gruesome memories are the incidents of cannibalism in the Red Army, both of his own and German soldiers. Dr. Pichler dedicates his book to the efficient, loyal and self-sacrificing Waffen-SS medical service grades. They rescued wounded comrades from the forefield - often under enemy fire - and their blood toll was correspondingly high. An exciting factual account.
