I almost have a cast. Come on, Bob Cratchit and Belle, you know you'll be glad for a few hundred bucks this Christmas!

Robert Graves is a good writer and all, but aren't all WWI memoirs the same? Trench memoirs, I mean. Life in the trench, knee-deep water, blood, snipers, rats, everyone gets gassed (although admittedly, this is the first time I've read details of the Allies gassing the Germans, or rather, trying to, the wind was wrong and the gas rolled back into their own trenches), hardly killing any Germans, rotting corpses everywhere, periodic orders to go over the top with appalling casualties, etc. I'm curious now to understand exactly how the stalemate ends. All Quiet on the Western Front is one of my favorite books, and I think it's pretty much what a person needs to know about the Great War.

Does anyone know of a similar novel or memoir about WWII, written from the German point of view? I'm not aware of one but would like to read it. It was enlightening to read about the Japanese point of view in The Rape of Nanking. Hitler's Willing Executioners doesn't count, I want a soldier's story.
