While we're on it, I consider Storm of Steel, by Ernst Junger, to be the best book on WWI (simple, honest look at the reality of the war, from the perspective of a young officer on the front-line)

Is there anything similar for WWII? Everything seems to be political grand-standing or Anglo-centric accounts of minor involvement. I mean Eastern Front, daily life, firsthand accounts; the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer might be something you'd be interested in

Wasn't that fiction by a man who never participated in the war, much less on the eastern front, German side? I just want to avoid the political "woe is me", you usually hear from English / U.S. accounts of WWI, for instance. I'm afraid of Johnny Got His Gun, translated from German.

I mean, if it's an accurate depiction, I'll try it.
