A long read which could have been distilled into a smaller memoir. Though some details were interesting, the minutiae of the endless days did not offer much insight to the overall story. The last 10 pages were perhaps the most interesting.

Fascinating description of the last days of the war. Often plodding altho the last sections seemed to move along. There was no plot, per second, but rather a "then, Nd then, and then.
