Sinossi
Questa è la cronaca fedele di un'epoca e di una generazione maledetta. Una storia violenta, offensiva, urlante, che non risparmia nulla e nessuno. La vita di Peter Neumann, che viene arruolato da giovane nelle SS, ci rivela le ragioni che gli hanno fatto compiere certi atti e induce, frugando nel suo passato, a comprenderne e studiarne le origini. Ci permette di capire come sia stato possibile arrivare a un tale bagno di sangue e quali furono le ragioni ideologiche che condussero il popolo tedesco a macchiarsi di delitti che ancora oggi non sono stati dimenticati. Un diario per conoscere l'umano che si cela dietro l'inumano.

Well written and disturbing story of atrocity; the training and employment of SS troops, chronicled by a first person account.
Interesting to have the vision as seen from the bad side of a conflict. However, it should be noted that some have disputed the autheticity of the text.
This book was translated into English the year I was born. Neumann, fresh out of the Hitler youth, joins the SS (waffen, not totenkopf) just in time to attack the Soviet Union in June, 1941. He kept a diary, and I believe that's what the book is drawn from: an editor or Neumann himself has excerpted Leggi tutto
I first read The Black March many, many years ago when I received a copy of Weidenfeld & Nicolson Ltd's English translation by Constantine Fitz Gibbon's "Other Men's Graves: Diary of an SS Man" from a dear friend and history professor in college.
