O tym produkcie

Product Information

The memoir of paratrooper Kurt Gabel--a German Jew who emigrated to the US in 1938, joined the 513th Regiment of the 17th Airborne Division, and fought against his former countrymen in the Battle of the Bulge. Gabel conveys with rare immediacy an in-depth look at the training of a paratrooper, the dangers of combat, and his transformation from romantic idealist to warrior. He vividly recounts the fire fights and such episodes as narrow escapes, separation from his battalion and his rescue by another, and the interrogation of prisoners. He tells the full story of his desperate hours on "Dead Man's Ridge" near Bastogne.

I realize that shipments to Canada often take longer. I once read on a menu that "good food takes time to prepare." This CD was well worth the wait. Excellent transaction and I would do business again with this seller.

Shipping was longer than expected. They used Ascendia to ship in Canada but the tracking stopped being recorded in the system two days after shipping. It was probably an isolated case. Other than that, product was in perfect shape and communication with the seller was excellent.
