In his memoirs, Hans Bekker, non-commissioned officer of the German army, which he entered in 1937, describes the path traveled to him along the roads of the Second World War, and the years spent in Soviet camps as a prisoner of war. Bekker talks about the brutal tank battles under Ternopol, Dubno, Kursk, about how he left the encirclement and was captured, fled and was again caught, about years of hard trials in captivity. Leaving the term in Siberia, he recalls with bitter irony how he despised the prisoners of the German concentration camp, confident that in their place he would prefer death to a humiliating existence, not suspecting that he himself would soon fight for survival in the same circumstances.
