The book begins with the capture of Austrian infantryman Wolfram 'Wolfie' Redler amid the chaos following the fall of Stalingrad. It recounts the forced march eastwards and his transportation to Siberia during the merciless Russian winter. Stricken with typhus, he somehow manages to survive this 'death camp'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story continues with his transfer to a labour camp, describing in harrowing detail the deprivations endured by Redler and his comrades. That he, or anyone, was able to survive is nothing short of a miracle. Brutality, starvation, disease, and hard labour took their toll on over ninety per cent of the troops who were captured in those first few months of 1943.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated into English for the first time, this honest and unflinching account is a stark reminder of the cruelty of war. However, the great lesson of this book is not how we die, but how we live. Despite the suffering he witnessed and endured, 'Wolfie' remained a man who showed everyone around him what it truly means to live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nik Cornish,Wolfram Redler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805002325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805002321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhill Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Nik Cornish","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997490032895,"sku":"9781805002321","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stalingrad-survivor-nik-cornish-9781805002321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
