This is an outstanding personal memoir, written with great
thoughtfulness and honesty. Scheiderbauer joined his unit during
the winter of 1941/42, and during the following years saw fierce
combat in many of the largest battles on the Eastern Front. His
experiences of the 1943-45 period are particularly noteworthy,
including his recollections of the massive Soviet offensives of
summer 1944 and January 1945. Participating in the bitter battles
in East Prussia, he was captured by the Soviets and not released
until 1947.

Adventures in my Youth is a unique memoir-the author originally
wrote it only for his daughter. It has never been published in any
language, until now.
