Quite an insight. This level of analysis requires a golden oldie.

>Penguin Book of First World War Stories
How is that, user? Because I also have the Penguin WWI Poetry book, but I'm finding it slightly underwhelming.

Also
>No Remarque anywhere in this thread

I like it, I'm interested in the period but it still has a lot if stories I hadn't come across.

The book called "Mein Side of the Story" is pretty good and you can read it here:

A Jewish soldier named Georg Rauch who fought for the Third Reich in the German military in World War 2 and won the Iron Cross for single handedly saving an entire division of Waffen SS wrote a pretty good book, it's the exact same book published under two different titles:

(1) The Jew With The Iron Cross

amazon.com/Jew-Iron-Cross-Record-Survival/dp/0595379877/

and

(2) "Unlikely Warrior: A Jewish Soldier in Hitler's Army"

amazon.com/Unlikely-Warrior-Jewish-Soldier-Hitlers/dp/1250073707/

That book is really good because it's a Jewish soldier in the Nazi military in World War 2 and he describes the Waffen SS as being "heroes" who saved his life and he vividly describes atrocities committed by that the Communist secret police, the NKVD or "Cheka", were committing against civilians and against German P.O.W.'s (the NKVD and Communists would shoot any captured Axis soldier who had an SS blood group tattoo, for example, which was violating the Geneva convention).

Is that book by Jonathan Littell about people in India? People who speak the Indian dialect of English (Indlish?) are the only people I know who use the word "kindly".

KAPUTT

Honestly, as a vet myself, I loved Slaughterhouse Five the most out of all the WWII novels I've read.

You never responded to my question about "Slaughterhouse Five"

Yes but with aliens and time travel.

How are there aliens and time travel in "Slaughterhouse Five" ?

Its been about 15 years since i read the book and saw the movie, but at about the midpoint (or before or after? it doesnt have a linear storyline) he falls out of an airplane and lives, and then goes to live in an alien terarium which basically lets him relive aspects of his life, usually the worst ones (foxhole in the ardennes, dresden firebombing, his wife eating way too many cupcakes) in random order so as to study him. Hilarity ensues.

What you are saying sounds more like science fiction than a Kurt Vonnegut novel
