Before reading this book you need to read several of the negative reviews on Amazon. According to those reviews this book was not written by a member of the SS, but by a Frenchman using stories from other accounts. And those reviews say that author gets a lot of things wrong.
I haven't read it myself, but I always look at the Amazon reviews, as well as the PBS reviews, before requesting books by authors I am unfamiliar with. It's amazing how many "first person" memoirs out there are faked, and a number of personal memoirs which became best sellers were later found to contain outright lies.

This is a first-person account of a man who was in the German SS during World War II.
