Paris. The Somme. The Italian Campaign. The Russian Front. And inside Hitler’s bunker during The Battle of Berlin . . . World War II through the eyes of a solider of the Reich. Siegfried Knappe fought, was wounded, and survived battles in nearly every major Wehrmacht campaign. His astonishing career begins with Hitler’s rise to power—and ends with a five-year term in a Russian prison camp, after the Allies rolled victoriously into the smoking rubble of Berlin. The enormous range of Knappe’s fighting experiences provides an unrivaled combat history of World War II, and a great deal more besides. Based on Knappe’s wartime diaries, filled with 16 pages of photos he smuggled into the West at war’s end, Soldat delivers a rare opportunity for the reader to understand how a ruthless psychopath motivated an entire generation of ordinary Germans to carry out his monstrous schemes . . . and offers stunning insight into the life of a soldier in Hitler’s army. “Remarkable! World War II from inside the Wehrmacht.”— Kirkus Reviews
Siegfried Knappe (1917-2008) was a soldier in the Wehrmacht, the German Army, before being captured by the Russians.

Soldat is the memoir of Siegfried Knappe, who served as a German artilleryman and staff officer who served throughout the Second World War. Through the bulk of the narrative, Knappe was a mid-level officer, which gave him a better sense of what was going on than the average front-line officer. Overall, Soldat is a well-written memoir and includes a good amount of detail about the author’s training, wartime career and post-war captivity. The author also makes efforts to depict himself in human terms, providing details about his family, fiancée and military comrades – so he ultimately comes across in a sympathetic light. There is much good in Knappe’s memoir and if he occasionally glosses over German brutality in Russia, he is in good company with other German memoirs. One of the better German memoirs. Knappe begins his narrative at the end, when he was operations officer for the LVI Panzerkorps in the defense of Berlin in April 1945. He provides a day-by-day description of the Soviet attack on the Seelowe Heights and their push into Berlin. Knappe actually got to meet Hitler briefly in the final days and describes the atmosphere around the Fuhrer bunker. The second part of the book jumps back to 1936 to cover Knappe’s family background and initial entry into the military in October 1936. After a year in enlisted service, Knappe began officer training in 1937 and was commissioned as a junior artillery officer in 1938. By the start of the Second World, Knappe had been a battery officer for a year and he initially served on the quiet West Wall front during the Phony War. Knappe’s baptism of fire came during the French campaign and he was wounded in June 1940. His account of the French campaign is a bit hard to follow at times and his dates/locations seem iffy in some places, but it is clear that he thought the French units in his sector put up a tough fight. After recovering at home, Knappe participated in Operation Barbarossa in 1941, serving with Army Group Center in the advance toward Moscow. Interestingly, Knappe recounts an incident where one of his non-commissioned officers was mistreating a civilian – not much of an incident really – and says that he reprimanded the NCO and that this was the last such incident he ever witnessed. That seems hard to swallow (particularly given that he specifically mentions the infamous Commissar order), but given the author’s later comments about suppressing information during his interrogations in Soviet captivity, it seems likely that he chose to sanitize his account of any details that could have gotten him in trouble. At any rate, Knappe made it to the outskirts of Moscow but then had the good fortune to be wounded by Soviet artillery fire in December 1941, just as the Soviet counteroffensive was beginning. Consequently, he was sent back to Germany and missed most of the first winter on the Russian front. Knappe returned to the Russian front in spring 1942 but managed to return to Germany for much of the year due to another wound and a special artillery course he attended. He was supposed to go to Stalingrad in December 1942, but by the time that he reached Rostov, the 6th Army was surrounded and he was re-assigned. Indeed, Knappe had a very lucky career and managed to avoid disaster several times. In 1943, Knappe was assigned to occupation duty in France and later shifted to the Italian Front, where he was wounded by the Allied bombing attack on Kesselring’s headquarters. Once again back in Germany, Knappe convalesced and was given another lucky break – he was allowed to attend General Staff training for the last half of 1944. He returned to the Eastern Front just after the Soviets had attacked across the Vistula in January 1945. The last section of the book covers Knappe’s captivity in the Soviet Union. Once again he was lucky, since the Soviets were very interested in him because of his knowledge of the final days around the Fuhrer Bunker in Berlin and this interest kept Knappe away from a labor camp. Knappe was released in December 1949 (many German POWs remained in Soviet captivity until 1954-55) and then managed to escape East Germany to the West, and then made his way to the United States. He wrote Soldat in 1992, when he lived in Ohio. As far as personal revelations, Knappe admits that he finally realized by 1945 that the German Army had been culpable in facilitating Hitler’s wars of aggression, in a “gee, I guess I was kind of naïve…” sort of way. He also admits some shame when he learned about the Holocaust and other criminal acts committed by Hitler’s regimes, but like most Germans of his generation, the blame is affixed solely on the Nazi party. Oddly, the author seemed to have a favorable impression of Generalfeldmarschall Ferdinand Schorner, a well-known Nazi and convicted war criminal. Readers will find that this account has only a modest amount of front-line combat action and that the author also missed some critical moments of the war. However, he does provide some insight into mid-level staff operations and offers a detailed description of the fighting around Berlin in April 1945. As wartime memoirs go, Soldat is a good one, although like anything written decades after the fact, memories are iffy in places and there is evident intent to avoid touchy issues. Indeed, Soldat is something of a sanitized memoir, well-written, but one that does not really admit how the author felt in 1941-42, when Germany seemed on the cusp of victory (in contrast, German memoirs written at that time betray very different attitudes than seen in the post-war accounts).

A good memory of what it was like to be on the losing side in World War two. The only negative I can give is that for a historical non-fiction book I get a little red flag when I read back and forth conversations from fellow soldiers after sixty years. The conversations ring as probably as real as if it actually took place at the time, but I squirm when I read conversations in a non-fiction book. All in all, a great read of the life of a soldier in World War two on the losing side. The co-author did a great job of pulling it all together in a readable book.
When a fellow has as much story to tell as Siegfried Knappe, it's easy to produce a book that's nothing more than a tidal-wave of names, dates, and places, blurring together and hence failing to produce a clear picture of what the author actually experienced. This memior largely avoids that trap and thus SOLDAT is a helluva book, really a must-read for anyone who wants a better understanding of life in the German Army under - and after - Adolf Hitler. As a soldier, Knappe was fairly typical of the generation who came of age between wars and thus served as a kind of bridge between the era of Weimar and the following Nazi period. A casual admirer of Hitler as a young man, he nevertheless had a Jewish best friend, and went through the mill of Labor Service and drafted soldier just the same as countless other German youths. Serving in the horse-drawn artillery, he was recognized as having leadership potential given a rare opportunity for officer training, an experience which for him was so enjoyable that he decided to make the Army a career. Unfortunately the war intruded on what had been an idyll of ballroom dances, riding competitions and opportunities to lure women with his fancy uniform, and before too long he was in Russia for the opening day of the Russian campaign. There his romanticism died a painful death, and although he was grimly determined to carry out his duty to the bitter end, Knappe had an oddly lucky propensity to get wounded just badly enough to be removed from the fighting, but not badly enough to be crippled or killed. Eventually selected for service on the General Staff, he rose to the rank of major and finished the war helping to coordinate the defense of Berlin - an event that put him in close proximity to Hitler. Of course, "finishing the war" is a misleading expression, as Knappe spent many years slowly rotting in a Soviet POW camp, a subject covered in harrowing detail in the book. As a read, SOLDAT has only one real flaw - the periods where, as narrator, Knappe gets bogged down in providing a strategic overview of the military situation in, say, 1945. Obviously as a General Staff officer this was part of his frame of reference, but it is somewhat jarringly academic compared to his personal experiences - this is a personal work, not a military history, and I wish the editor had seen fit to trim these interludes back. Other than that, however, it is an absolutely fascinating tell-all, not merely because of its intricate depictions of peacetime and wartime Army life, but because of its harrowing depictions of the aftermath millions of German soldiers had to live through as members of a defeated nation. The privations of the gulag were hard enough on Knappe, but the cruel psychological tricks the Soviets played on their German prisoners over their long years of captivity - denying their mail, lying about release dates, tricking them into committing crimes and then extending their sentences - are so exhausting and draining to read about that I can't even imagine what it was like to endure them for ten years. By the time Knappe finally "escapes" to West Germany near the end of the book I think I was almost as glad as he was. Overall, SOLDAT is a very strong entry in the field of German war literature and I would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh perspective - that of a staff officer during the climactic days of WW2.

A career soldier's tale
Siegfried Knappe came from a fairly ordinary background, made the army his career, and ended up in the Fuehrer bunker in Berlin in 1945. This is a memoir of his military life which includes lots of fascinating detail such as: His pre-war army training His participation in the invasion of France Operation Barbarossa....Knappe was an officer in the horse drawn artillery and rode on horseback to the outskirts of Moscow. General staff training during the war. Knappe was intelligent, competitive and capable, and it was a high honour to be selected for General Staff Training. His experiences in Berlin in the last days of the war. His incarceration in Russian prison camps for four years after the war. The book was "ghost written" by Mr Brusaw and occasionally one reads something that is untrue or does not ring true. For example the book states that the night of June 22nd 1941, the night of the invasion of Russia, was moonlit; it was not. So the book loses a star. But don't let this put you off. This is a worthwhile book about the second world war written by a man who, while not a saint, was no "evil Nazi" either. I found the book very interesting. You get a lot of insight in what it must have been like for ordinary Germans during the war.

Must read if your interested in the German Army WW2, flowed well with lots of interesting detail. Anything about the WW2 German military, particularly the Eastern Front fascinates me. Rightly or wrongly they fought for what they believed in at the time.
