In his memoirs, Hans Becker, a non-commissioned officer in the German army, which he joined in 1937, describes the path he traveled along the roads of the Second World War and the years he spent in Soviet camps as a prisoner of war. In the simple and artless language of a soldier, Becker tells of the brutal tank battles near Ternopil, Dubno, Kursk, about how he escaped from encirclement and was captured, escaped and was captured again, about the years of difficult trials in captivity. Serving time in Siberia, he recalls with bitter irony how he despised the prisoners of the German concentration camp, convinced that in their place he would prefer death to a humiliating existence, unaware that soon he himself would be desperately struggling for survival in similar circumstances.
