Schreie der Ertrinkenden

I read the English version from Pen & Sword Books:

This book was one that makes you sit back and put yourself in someone else's shoes.. I had not heard of the Wilhelm Gustloff before, but I am itching to read more about it now!

This story is given in a first person narrative, and is so well done, you almost feel like you are there with him - on the ship, waiting to be rescued, escaping and making the long trek back home. Perfection in a book for military history lovers!
