Hello all. I imagine that similar posts like this have been posted before but please bear with me. Im mainly interested in combat on the Eastern Front and on the stength of this forums recommendations have already ordered Hell's Gate. What other books would you recommend i'm specifically interested in the war from the ordinary soldiers point of view regardless of nationality. Thanks.

Heaven & Hell by Martin Poppel, a wartime diary of a German Paratrooper, should be able to get it from your local library.
