Description du livre
Stalingrad 1942 - 19-year-old Alfred Miller is a member of the 100th Panzer Division and learns to know and hate the cruel horrors of war during the fierce and costly battles for the "Red October" factory. Thanks to his marksmanship, he becomes a sniper.
After the encirclement of the 6th Army, the young Austrian wanders through the ruins of the dying city on the Volga in the coldest winter for years, both hunter and hunted. Hunger, cold, misery, death and fear are his constant companions.
The war hits hard and merciless every day. The soldiers are brutalized, the hope of salvation dies. Ultimately, there are only two ways to escape suffering and a grim fate: either get on one of the planes out of the cauldron, or die.
