About this listen

The first book of D Day Through German Eyes has fascinated listeners around the world with its insight into the German experience of June 6, 1944. Now, book 2 contains a completely different set of astonishing German testimonies from the same archive.

These newly translated eyewitness statements by German veterans show the defenders to be determined but psychologically insecure, often deluded in their thinking, and all too human in their shock at the onslaught they faced. These unique interviews with German soldiers are a historical treasure trove of new insights, heart-stopping combat stories, and glimpses of wartime psychology that will absorb anyone with an interest in WW2.

From all I can find online from reputable historians, the people and interviews in this book are entirely fabricated, particularly the Typhoon B discussion. The regiments and battles are correct, as well as confirmed reports of the atrocities described by both sides. Though it shouldn't advertise itself as non-fiction, it provides a plausible human perspective from German soldiers during D-Day itself,and how ultimately most were indoctrinated pawns of a horrible regime, and weren't necessarily evil as individuals, though there were of course (and shown in this book) fully informed and aware supporters of it.

Hoax, but interesting exploration of perspectives

All the voice actors did a great job. the storyes are hard to believe at times but they give more of a larger view of D-day.

D +1

I'm not qualified to judge but both my parents were in the war and I always respected and admired the men and women who made sacrifices, the lost lives, the wounded both physically and mentally, the scars.. to hear accounts from these real German men was interesting, the horrific things they all witnessed aswell, the lack of knowledge as to why they were fighting, the starvation they also endured... a real eye opener for me, I just wished I could of talked about it with my parents

my own thoughts

Great book,quite interesting to see the views from the german side instead of just the allies
The performance is bit annoying the fake german accent

Great book

This is actually a hugely important document as it explains something that has always been a mystery to those of us from allied countries, namely how on earth could ordinary Germans fight for and support the evils of the 3rd Reich. What we learn here is that for the ordinary drafted German soldier an entirely different world view existed of what the war was actually about (my goodness the French come out of this very badly indeed apart from the very small percentage who genuinely resisted) . It also gives an unexpected contrast and pause for thought on current times like us criticising for example Syria or Russia over civilian casualties in the current conflict, when your hear the Germans veterans views on how many French civilians died when the allies were forced to bomb France for example. There is a lot to take in here and it is very well worth listening to and has certainly given me pause for thought about how things can look very very different depending an the sheer chance of what side you were born on. However, there is also a very chilling part about the testing of a Nazi "wonder weapon" from a man who seems to be everything you thought Nazi scientists were.

Fascinating, eye opening and chilling by stages.
