Eastern Front - 500 Letters from War (ePub)

During the Second World War, Josef Chervatin was a German soldier in the 329th "Hammer" Infantry Division. He was a man thrown into the hell of the Eastern Front and found himself at the mercy of the bombs that were going off everywhere around him. It was horrible.

THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT HIM GOING WAS HIS FAMILY.

He loved them dearly and always tried to be a supportive father and loving husband. Even from afar, he did his best to fill his role by writing letters. Over the years, Josef had written 500 letters to his family - offering advice for his son, comforting his worried wife, and sharing his experiences while serving in the war.
