Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
For decades after 1945, it was generally believed that the German army, professional and morally decent, had largely stood apart from the SS, Gestapo, and other corps of the Nazi machine. Ben Shepherd draws on a wealth of primary sources and recent scholarship to convey a much darker, more complex picture. For the first time, the German army is examined throughout the Second World War, across all combat theaters and occupied regions, and from multiple perspectives: its battle performance, social composition, relationship with the Nazi state, and involvement in war crimes and occupation.

Despite the best efforts of a number of historians, many aspects of the ferocious struggle between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War remain obscure or shrouded in myth. One of the most persistent of these is the notion - largely created by many former members of its own officer corps in the immediate postwar period - that the German Army was a paragon of military professionalism and operational proficiency whose defeat on the Eastern Front was solely attributable to the amateurish meddling of a crazed former Corporal.

On August 5, 1942, giant pillars of dust rose over the Russian steppe, marking the advance of the 6th Army, an elite German combat unit dispatched by Hitler to capture the industrial city of Stalingrad and press on to the oil fields of Azerbaijan. The Germans were supremely confident; in three years, they had not suffered a single defeat. The Luftwaffe had already bombed the city into ruins. German soldiers hoped to complete their mission and be home in time for Christmas.

Even after the legendary evacuation from Dunkirk in June 1940 there were still large British formations fighting the Germans alongside their French allies. After mounting a vigorous counterattack at Abbeville and then engaging a tough defense along the Somme, the British were forced to conduct a second evacuation from the ports of Le Havre, Cherbourg, Brest, and St. Nazaire. Case Red captures the drama of the final three weeks of military operations in France in June 1940.

Few perspectives epitomize the sheer drama and sacrifice of combat more perfectly than those of the fighter pilots of World War II. As romanticized as any soldier in history, the World War II fighter pilot was viewed as larger than life: a dashing soul waging war amongst the clouds. In the 65-plus years since the Allied victory, stories of these pilots' heroics have never been in short supply. But what about their adversaries - the highly skilled German aviators who pushed the Allies to the very brink of defeat?

Like many Germans, Berlin schoolboy Erwin Bartmann fell under the spell of the Zeitgeist cultivated by the Nazis. Convinced he was growing up in the best country in the world, he dreamt of joining the Leibstandarte, Hitler's elite Waffen SS unit. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and just 17-years-old, Erwin fulfilled his dream on Mayday 1941, when he gave up his apprenticeship at the Glaser bakery in Memeler Strasse and walked into the Lichterfelde barracks in Berlin as a raw, volunteer recruit.

The complete story of Dien Bien Phu
- By Arius on 09-30-16
Publisher's Summary
November 1942 on the banks of the River Volga. The German Army advance into the Caucasus Mountains in search of the Russian oilfields has halted for the winter as the bitter fighting in Stalingrad takes center stage.
The German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, has virtually driven the Red Air Force from the skies.
The Germans, confident in taking the city that holds Stalin's namesake, strip their flanks of troops to bolster their forces fighting inside the city. For just one last push to decide the battle and the outcome of the war.
To the south of Stalingrad, on a thinly held front line stretching hundreds of miles, small groups of German troops are dispersed across positions held by their allies of the Fourth Romanian Army.
As winter approaches and temperatures drop, the soldiers bed down in their positions, consoled by the thought that they will not have to fight through another Russian Winter in the bitter sub-zero temperatures. Temperatures that the Russian Army is more than accustomed to.
Press releases advise the front line troops of the impending collapse of the Russian Army and state. The drive to the banks of the Volga had produced few prisoners and seen most Red Army units retreat before the mighty and victorious German Sixth Army.

WW2 Military Drama
Andrew McGregor paints a pretty terrifying picture as the German forces advanced upon the Volga River determined to access the river and reach valuable resources within Russia. The intricate details McGregor writes, builds excitement and suspense in this fictional telling and makes you feel like you were there alongside the German and Romanian troops suffering in the bitter cold and fighting the inferior but tenacious Russian army.
This war drama audiobook is narrated by Skyler Morgan clocks in at over 11 hours, Skyler has a subdued way of narrating that to me fits nicely with war/military genre. The one criticism I have is with the pacing, it’s a bit slow but I feel it has more to do with editing than with Skyler’s narrating. Overall, I riveted by the storytelling and it’s a stark reminder that war is hell!
This book was gifted to me exchange for an unbiased review!

A great look at history through the soldiers eyes!
What did you love best about Bloody Iced Bullet?
I loved how the story follows historically accurate information. It provides a factual historic base with a unique fictional storyline.
What did you like best about this story?
I like how the story follows multiple dynamic characters through their struggles and the bitterness of the never-ending cold mother nature can provide!
Which character – as performed by Skyler Morgan – was your favorite?
Hausser was my favorite character. A bold, strong and balanced leader who is faced with multiple tough scenarios. He shows a dedicated level of loyalty needed to get the group of men through frozen hell and back.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book opened a range of characters I would like to see grow. I will buy the next book in this series!
Any additional comments?
Every story has occasional lulls here and there but with this book you almost need them to recoup from intense action scenes. The narration was clear and engaging and was able to keep my attention without being overly dramatic. Solid 4 stars.

skip it
If you have more than a 9th-grade education, skip it. The monosyllabic, completely unimaginative writing fails to deliver a compelling or engaging story. Very difficult to visualize as there is a dearth of descriptive phrasing. There were dozens of timed when she or grin crossed the lips of the forgettable characters...in the midst of miserable conditions. Simply put, this is poorly written at best.
