Currently reading "Soldat: Reflections of A German Soldier, 1936 - 1949", Siegfried Knappe. A great recounting of France, 1940, and Barbarossa, 1941, from the viewpoint of a young German artillery officer. Makes one appreciate the challenges of using horses in a modern war.
Knappe ends the war as a decorated major providing briefings in the Führerbunker before being flow to Moscow, after surrender.
