Adventures in My Youth

Describes well the periods of captivity, covalescence and classes. Almost no combat memories though. Why? Maybe because this so called officer was always first to withdraw, to get drunk, to be happy avoiding the front... also zero empathy towards his comrades, zero care towards his soldiers, self-agrandisment, “me so smart” “angels watching over me” and so on. A very crappy officer and a pretty crappy civilian too.
Unfortunately, that's how war memories usually work for the losing side: the honorable officers die and the dishonorable survive to tell the tale...
