Not your typical book from a War Correspondent. Compelling read and well worth your time.
Written by an Italian war correspondent embedded with German troops from the beginning of the Russian invasion in WWII. While the unit is unnamed it was part of Army Group C. The author was a member of the Alpine troops. Had fought in WWI and was an observer on the White side during the Russian Civil War. He was fluent in German and Russian and apparently was familiar with Romanian. The book is almost like a travel log as he describes the terrain, sky, flora and fauna, people, political situation an overall impressions of battlefields as he passes through them. He was sent back to Italy in 1942 and placed under house arrest for 4 months as his dispatches were viewed as pro Russian. Coming back to the front in 1943 he describes events from Finnish positions opposite Leningrad..
