Read the Painfully Realistic, Shocking, Yet Moving Tale of a German Soldier Whose Love for His Family Kept Him Going – “Eastern Front – 500 Letters from War” contains all the letters written by a German soldier during the war and in Soviet captivity, plus his breathtaking escape report from the Czech uranium mines in 1949
During the Second World War, Josef Chervatin was a German soldier in the 329th “Hammer” Infantry Division.He was a man thrown into the hell of the Eastern Front and found himself at the mercy of the bombs that were going off everywhere around him.
It was horrible.
The only thing that kept him going was his family.
He loved them dearly and always tried to be a supportive father and loving husband. Even from afar, he did his best to fill his role by writing letters. Over the years, Josef had written 500 letters to his family — offering advice for his son, comforting his worried wife, and sharing his experiences while serving in the war.
Between his optimistic hopes for peace, everyday horrors, and the constant fear and worry for his loved ones enduring regular bombing raids at home, his collection of letters shares staggering and moving insights into what it’s like to be a soldier in the most gruesome war of all time.
…He was then captured in 1945.
Josef Chervatin spent over 4 years in Soviet captivity. At last, he was forced to work in a Czech uranium mine. That was when he started to plan his escape.
Find a collection of emotionally-charged letters bearing the horror of war. Read the account of Josef’s daring escape in a way that would shatter and move anyone.
