Reviews for Feldpost: The War Letters of Friedrich Reiner Niemann
...Excellent translation and editing is accompanied by very useful contextual material, placing the events into a meaningful framework. Since the Eastern Front encompassed an extraordinary series of military operations within a vast geography this is very necessary, and very helpful to all readers, even those with some familiarity with this part of the war.
