D Day Through German Eyes Book 2

More Hidden Stories from June 6th 1944

De: Holger Eckhertz

Narrado por: P. J. Ochlan

The first book of D Day Through German Eyes has fascinated listeners around the world with its insight into the German experience of June 6, 1944. Now, book 2 contains a completely different set of astonishing German testimonies from the same archive.

These newly translated eyewitness statements by German veterans show the defenders to be determined but psychologically insecure, often deluded in their thinking, and all too human in their shock at the onslaught they faced. These unique interviews with German soldiers are a historical treasure trove of new insights, heart-stopping combat stories, and glimpses of wartime psychology that will absorb anyone with an interest in WW2.

Eye opening and very well done. Direction was gr

Eye opening and very well done..clear and concise and I was taken back to all of the films that I have seen of that battle throughout the years. Made me think of how one sided they were.

Nothing like it

The bill is probably unique. And the reader may well be, too. Recommended highly. It will long stay with you.

Excellent

The random details contribute to the believability of these interviews. I was struck by the way these guys focused on a narrow purpose for what they were fighting for. The higher up their view, the more complex and nuanced. However, with the perspective of looking back, they always conclude with their duty and personal innocence. I think that is how most soldiers are with the exception of the criminals

Interesting and informative

This book expanded my understanding of the events around D-Day. In particular, the composition and quality of the static troops and the attitude of some of the local French population.

Great second part to the first book

Great second set of stories. Some interesting subjects are discussed which are not commonly discussed in other historic WWII books

Have Listened to Books 1 & 2 Several Times

These two books contain numerous different stories from the German soldiers perspective. Nothing but the brutal truth. I hope there are more books to come.

great accounts, bad accents

great accounts, but the narrators accents were a bit over the top. would have been more palatable without it.

A must have for WW2 enthusiasts

I liked the German accents, when the interviewee was speaking. It seems to bring the story a little more to life. Compelling stories. Amazing!

loved this book.

great narration and the stories were in depth and gave you a sense of what it was like to experience D Day from the German standpoint. I highly recommend it to any world War 2 history buff.

What Did The Germans Think

Like the first book there was a great deal that I learned as not much is ever given from the losers point of view.
