Dutch SS accounts are rare, particularly ones that describe recruiting, training, and frontline combat as completely and vividly as In the Fire of the Eastern Front. Hendrick C.

Told from the unique perspective of a foreigner serving in the German military, Verton’s memoir is an exciting addition to the literature of World War II.
