[Panzermacher]

"Mein Gott" I say as I awake and grab my aching skull. Too much Chianti last night! I am Gunter Beck, 21 year old Obergefrieter in Hitler's "disarmed Forces" I have done nearly two years in the East already, til an Ivan Popov mortar put 21 metal pieces in my leg and back. Three operations later, and I find myself on convalescence duty in Sicily, guarding some pretty big wigs from the Tommy side of the channel. I am due to go East again, that's for sure. Just as soon as I heal up some. But, my old unit was at Stalingrad......Guess they'll give me a "new unit".
Ach my head! But as you know the old soldier's saying...."Live now, for tomorrow we shall die" Lucky for me, I do not have duty today and can go back and get some rest....and clear the rest of this hangover away!
