War Diary of my Prussian Grandfather Revised 2023 Book PDF Summary
I updated this diary (2023), first published for the centennial of World War I, illustrate how the seemingly endless - interminable - clash of armies on the Eastern Front are fought - today as in centuries past. When I first read my grandfather’s diary his words placed me in the trenches beside him. I felt his hunger, his thirst, his concern for his men, his determination to survive. His words spoke reality! Today (2023), I see the Ukrainian Men of the Territorial Army, behaving very much like my grandfather and his mates. Both groups of men lived and worked close to the border with Russia. They were the first armed force that the invaders encountered. Brave men! They will do their utmost to protect their homes and families. I saw them cede ground to the Russians, retreating - somewhat in disarray - but still carrying their weapons. They were no match against enemy soldiers that had coordinated artillery and armour support. They pull back up and try to regroup. They join other territorials in the next defensive line. They grab what rest they can, choose their moment to stand and fight - then pull back some more. The parallel of these two wars - fought and being fought - a century apart is uncanny: frightening really! We now see in real time those that sustained debilitating injury or those that carry the brunt of loss of family. For them war - then and now - has condemned them to their own personal ‘Götterdämmerung’ – thrown by the fickleness of fate into everlasting twilight.
