This book compiles and narrates the post-war memories and wartime records of the author's maternal grandfather, Hans Kahr, on the Eastern Front battlefield of World War II. Hans Karl was born into a peasant family in Austria in 1925. He was later drafted into the army and became a machine gunner of the 138th Mountain Chasseur Regiment of the 3rd Mountain Division of the German Wehrmacht. He was sent to the Eastern Front battlefield at the end of the war. This book recalls Karl's process of learning to survive on the front line as a new recruit, and tells about Karl's brutal battles on the Eastern Front and his experience as a prisoner of war after being captured. The book also introduces the life of small farming families in Austria before the war and local traditional customs. From the perspective of an ordinary soldier, this book uses plain language to show the cruelty of war one by one, warning future generations to cherish peace.
