In his book Frontsoldaten, Stephen G. Fritz mines the letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral histories of these men to create the definitive account of soldiers' lives on the front lines. Frontsoldaten addresses the training, images of combat, living conditions, combat stress, bonds of comradeship, ideology, and motivation of the Landser. <P>Frontsoldaten reveals the war through the eyes of these self-styled "little men" with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Fritz contrasts these German soldiers with their American counterparts, showing how much soldiers everywhere have in common. But he also discusses significant differences in ideological intensity, group cohesiveness, ingenuity, discipline, and quality of equipment that will come as a suprise to many readers familiar with the history of World War II. 1062299 19 6 1997 Frontsoldaten: The German Soldier in World War II total:16|5:2|4:6|3:5|2:2|1:1| 16 54 20 2 2 0 false false Wed Sep 23 16:40:05 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 17:03:27 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Tue Jun 23 09:05:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 20:13:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 19:07:15 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 19:07:30 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Sep 26 13:00:18 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 08:45:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jul 10 08:36:31 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 08:36:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Feb 16 12:10:20 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 12:10:20 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jan 14 08:26:57 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 08:26:57 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 02 08:38:15 -0700 2009 Thu Dec 18 06:58:39 -0800 2008 Wed Sep 02 08:38:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 14 06:52:47 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 06:52:47 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Sep 06 00:39:09 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 06 00:39:09 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jul 24 11:35:11 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 11:35:11 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jul 08 07:33:10 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 08 07:33:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 01 10:15:06 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 10:15:06 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 08:38:50 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 08:38:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jun 13 20:41:24 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 20:41:24 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 29 08:21:32 -0700 2008 Thu May 29 08:21:32 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jan 22 04:52:52 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 04:52:58 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Dec 13 08:05:56 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 13 08:05:56 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Thu Aug 16 18:32:28 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 16 18:32:28 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Jul 23 20:58:20 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 23 20:58:25 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1075590
