Comrades is a new history of the mentalities of ordinary Wehrmacht
soldiers, based on recently discovered intelligence records from
the American interrogation camp Fort Hunt near Washington, where
German prisoners of war were interned and secretly listened in on
during the Second World War. US Military Intelligence captured tens
of thousands of open conversations between Wehrmacht soldiers and
recorded them in verbatim transcripts. The resulting collection
offers new insights into the thinking and worldviews of ordinary
members of Hitler's armed forces - their attitudes towards National
Socialism and the 'Fuhrer', their views of the war and their
experiences during the fighting, and their knowledge of and
participation in war crimes and the Holocaust. The accompanying
biographical information reveals how their mindsets were connected
to their individual paths through the Third Reich, the Wehrmacht,
and the war. The book offers a nuanced and realistic account of
life in the Wehrmacht, based on unique source material, which
allows us to see the Second World War through the eyes of the
protagonists.
