Publisher's Synopsis
..". What madness had Germany the world brought upon it? I knew this was something that future generations would pay for dearly and Germany would never be allowed to forget. I loved my country, but I knew it would end badly for Germany and for all who had supported her. I was a part of it; I had been, for several years. I had made a dangerous decision many years ago to serve the Nazis through the Wehrmacht, a decision I had made willingly. This realization forced me to finally admit that my self-worth and self-satisfaction were derived from being a German officer, serving my country honorably while trying my best to limit the senseless madness behind this war. I had had the misfortune to be born at the wrong time, to serve in the wrong war, to have sworn allegiance to the Fuhrer. I had done what I could to serve the honorable traditions of the Wehrmacht while minimizing the under lying darkness of this war. While I had served honorably, I knew the war's final result would be the same for me..." Major Rolf Krengel is a German officer serving in North Afrika... He is an officer and a gentleman, who shares his thoughts and views of the horrors of war in this, his personal journal. In a war, that will end badly for his beloved country... Krengel tells of his struggles in the unforgiving desert of Libya, his constant run-ins with the infamous Black Rat's of the 9th and copes with his own sanity as a threat of death awaits him on the other side of every sand dune.
