At 17 to the Front – My Fight for Survival
A Testimony Against Forgetting
In 1942, at only seventeen years old, a German boy was sent to the Eastern Front—into the icy Caucasus Mountains. Surrounded by fear, cold, and despair, he witnessed horror and death on a daily basis. Used as cannon fodder, he was wounded three times and lived every day knowing it could be his last.
This is not a tale of heroism, but a raw and unfiltered World War II memoir. It is the voice of a young soldier who never wanted to fight, yet was forced into a war that destroyed an entire generation.
More than eighty years later, his story finally comes to light—a testimony of:
Survival against all odds on the brutal Eastern Front
The daily reality of war as seen through the eyes of a teenager
Fear, guilt, and resilience in the face of unimaginable suffering
With this book, his granddaughter gives voice to memories long buried in silence. For years, like many of his generation, he spoke nothing of the war. Only later did he begin to write—and his words reveal the truth of what it meant to grow up in uniform.
This memoir is both a warning for the present and a voice for those who never returned.
