Artur H. Boer

The Great War from the German Trenches

A Sapper's Memoir, 1914-1918

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Life in the trenches for German soldiers during World War I was every bit as hellish as it was for Allied troops. Arthur Boer survived almost four years of continual fighting on both the Eastern and Western fronts as a sapper. His war diary describes all in gritty detail, including the horror of gas warfare, doomed vainglorious charges and his return home to a ruined Germany.
