Haegele’s memoir, based on a diary he kept during his German imprisonment, reveals the intimate details of army life and combat during World War II.Haegele arrived at Omaha Beach a month after the Normandy Invasion, but still in time to witness the chilling aftermath of D-Day. It wasn’t long before he and his comrades saw combat. The 7th Division spearheaded for the 3rd Army under General Patton, fighting through France, Belgium, and Holland.In October of 1944, Haegele and a small force of soldiers faced a German Panzer division with orders to delay them for forty-eight hours, but they were overrun and taken prisoner on October 29. Transported deep into the heart of Germany, Haegele spent nearly seven months as a POW and was liberated on May 1, 1945, by the Russian army.Full of vivid detail, Haegele’s wartime memoir is a compelling, must-read account for any World War II enthusiast.
