Wuster Wigand (15 results)

Hardback. Condition: New. In August 1942, Wigand Wüster was a twenty-two-year-old officer in the German Wehrmacht. The short life expectancies of the Eastern Front made him a veteran commander even at that age. He led a battery in an artillery regiment as it approached Stalingrad for a World War II-defining clash with the Soviet Red Army. For Wüster, the preceding months had been marked by heat, dust, endless marches, and brief skirmishes with the enemy-but mostly by an ongoing battle with his bullying battalion commander. Stalingrad would change everything.In this brutally honest account, Wüster provides a glimpse into the Eastern Front rarely seen before. With frankness, humor, and perception, Wüster takes the reader from the heady days of the German 1942 summer offensive into the icy hell of Stalingrad's final hours-and finally into his Soviet captivity. Accounts of artillery on the Eastern Front are rare, and Wüster was an especially keen observer of the hell of Stalingrad.The book has been supplemented with photos and maps by Jason Mark, who originally published it through his Australia-based company Leaping Horseman Books. This will be our third time reprinting one of Jason's publications. These titles are expensive hardcovers, with low production costs to us, and a built-in audience that knows the books but was unable to purchase a copy.

Condition: Gut. 1. 208 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar Ohne Schutzumschlag. Sonst sehr gut erhalten. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Als Artillerist erlebt der Oberleutnant an vorderster Front den Sommerfeldzug 1942 Richtung Kaukasus. Dann erfolgt der Schwenk seiner Division nach Stalingrad. Am 11. September wird die legendäre Stadt an der Wolga erreicht. Eindrucksvoll und bewegend schildert der Verfasser den Kampf um Stadtteile, Straßen und Häuser. Es ist auf beiden Seiten ein Kampf mit höchstem Einsatz. Am 17. November erhält Wüster noch einmal Urlaub. In der Heimat verlobt er sich. Auf der Rückfahrt zur Front wird ihm berichtet, dass Stalingrad eingeschlossen sei. Ein unbekannter Stabsoffizier empfiehlt ihm, sich zu seinem Ersatztruppenteil versetzen zu lassen. Wüster lehnt das zweifelhafte Angebot ab. Er will zurück zu seiner Batterie, zu seinen inzwischen von der Roten Armee eingeschlossenen Männern. In den folgenden Wochen erlebt und beschreibt er das Bangen und Hoffen im Kessel. Die Aussicht doch noch den Ausbruchsversuch zu wagen und schließlich die Gewissheit in Stalingrad unterzugehen, das sind die Höhepunkte dieses authentischen Zeugenberichtes. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.
