Quite an interesting perspective from a Waffen SS soldier who went into combat in Finland, then, briefly, against the American troops during Nordwind.

The book is, generally speaking, a recollection of the Author's actions as part of the 6th SS mountain Division, 3rd Battalion, SS mountain infantry Regiment 11. The major part of this unit deployment was in Finland, in Karelia (a rather remote, not widely known theater of operation to say the least), where Voss went through the hardship of arctic operations.

As the author realized the broader implications of the Nazi regime, he went through a severe soul-searching crisis to try to establish some sort of coherence and purpose for himself and his dead comrades. This is the inner core of the book, a tone that instills a sorrow of sort, because the author is obviously thorn between the sad realization that he was made the instrument of the Nazi evilness and the deep affection and sorrow he still harbors -quite understandably- for his fallen combat comrades.

Highly recommended.
