German Atrocities from German Evidence

A meticulous study of wartime records, this volume brings readers face‑to‑face with the grim reality of conflict as seen through the eyes of German soldiers themselves. The author selects excerpts from confiscated field diaries, carefully verifying each entry’s authenticity and presenting them without embellishment, allowing the stark language of the original writers to speak for itself.

Through vivid, unsettling passages—a night raid on a small village, the forced displacement of civilians, and the tragic death of infants and elders—the book exposes how the rules of war were breached. By arranging the documents thematically rather than chronologically, it offers a mosaic of incidents that together reveal a pattern of collective punishment and cruelty. The approach invites anyone, from casual readers to scholars, to weigh the evidence directly and consider its moral implications.
