Schwenn gives a vivid account of the brutal combat on the Russian front, and especially operations against partisans, where he took part in so-called \"pacification actions\" behind the front lines. In August 1943, his division was transferred to the front near Kharkov. After recovering from wounds received during the Soviet offensive, he served as an instructor, lastly with the SS Cavalry Replacement and Training Regiment in Bohemia. In addition to nearly three months of action during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, Schwenn also took part in operations during the Prague Uprising in May 1945. Because of his participation in operations against partisans in 1943, he was given a death sentence, and ultimately served nearly eleven years as a POW in the USSR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Schwenn,Rolf Michaelis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764352970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764352973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Albert Schwenn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096709669119,"sku":"9780764352973","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/albert-schwenns-memories-of-the-albert-schwenn-9780764352973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
