The Tracks of God: The Story of Henry Oehmsen -- Waffen SS Soldier of World War II and Prisoner of the Soviets

This book can be read in one evening. I happened to read it in two. The title indicated it would be a story focusing on his WWII experiences and captivity. It touched on these briefly, and at only 172 pages, it went by real fast. The book spent only 60 pages on his basic training, experience on the Eastern Front and his 32 months of captivity. While some of the incidents the author recounts are interesting, there is really nothing memorable said. The writing is frank and straightforward, and moves along with the candor of a story found in Readers Digest. It was a quick and simple read, and could of possibly received another star from this reviewer if it were not for the unreasonably high price. Poor writing, short book, high price. Look elsewhere, there are plenty of good ones available.
