About this listen
The author could be described as a veteran in every sense of the word, even though he was only age 21 when the war ended. Armin Scheiderbauer served as an infantry officer with the 252nd Infantry Division, German army, and saw four years of bitter combat on the Eastern Front, being wounded six times.
This is an outstanding personal memoir, written with great thoughtfulness and honesty. Scheiderbauer joined his unit during the winter of 1941-42 and, during the following years, saw fierce combat in many of the largest battles on the Eastern Front. His experiences of the 1943-45 period are particularly noteworthy, including his recollections of the massive Soviet offensives of summer 1944 and January 1945. Participating in the bitter battles in East Prussia, he was captured by the Soviets and not released until 1947.
Adventures in My Youth is a unique memoir - the author originally wrote it only for his daughter. It has never been published in any language until now.

Enjoyable.
Not as fast paced as Blood Red Snow but still good and interesting none the less. The timeline can be hard to follow and he seems to jump around quite often. Not upset I spent the money.

Fantastic
This book is a must for any historian or history buff. It is fascinating to hear WW2 from the other sides perspective and very humanizing. It a number of historical events into a human lens/perspective which enriched my understanding of what was seen, felt and heard on the ground. The author is obviously a very educated and intelligent person. The narration was top notch. Highly recommend this audio book.
