Re: Walther Dahl
 

Nick,

The book is "I Joined the Russians" by Count Heinrich von Einsiedel ( Yale University Press:1953). I read it many years ago in an University library and bought it in 1995.
The book is written in a diary form and has some very interesting passages.
One great passage talks about his time with Soviet Army:
"Sometimes near a small farm or settlement were scattered five,ten, or even twenty disabled Sherman tanks or T-34s. In the village would be a destroyed German antiaircraft gun, a tank left lying in the street, an uncoupled antitank , a heap of antitank mines, and a few dozen dead Germans who had sold their lives as dearly as possible."

Currently there are two copies of this books for $3.68,plus shipping from a bookseller in Minnesota. Check out ABE

Nick,
May be it will be good for to try and read some modern works about Soviet history, Russian Civil war, Great Patriotic War etc., instead of continuing to believe in Cold War propaganda bullshit?

This thread started off about Walter Dahl a worthy subject. It has wandered far afield and has even gotten a bit uncivil so I am shutting it down. If you want to do another thread then start it but do not hijack it for your own purposes.
