This is an amazingly well written, researched and narrated book. The author makes it clear when he doesn’t have all the facts and is making likely conclusions, but the book is mostly fact based and the emissions in Dr. Morell’s diary are pretty self-explanatory. It explains the high and lows of Hitler and the whole society, and their unwillingness to see reality and fight until the bitter end unlike almost any other nation in the history of warfare. Even if you think you know everything about World War II and the Third Reich, this book will give you a new perspective and make you reflect on the current world situation.

It’s pretty clear the author never quite let go or denounced what the Third Reich stood for. Being proud for girls wanting to make babies with him in the final moments of Hitler’s dictatorship or dreaming of the Eagle and other Nazi symbolism still 70 years later tell a story their own. However, he was a product of his time, growing up in that environment I can understand. The story is interesting, well written and not too long. Top 5 German WW2 memoirs.

Where does The Forgotten Soldier rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best audiobooks I've listened to. You can really feel immersed in the shoes of a soldier who got thrown in the middle of all the craziness of World War 2.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Forgotten Soldier?

How his story developed from a convoy guard to see some of the most grueling experiences on the Eastern Front.

What about Derek Perkins’s performance did you like?

Very good in portraying the emotions of the writer.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It got me reflecting on this world and how not to ever repeat this mistake of all out war.
