For the first time ever, this account has been translated into English. Bringing to life the Brandenburger Division, this memoir details the sector of history more vividly than ever before.

First published in Germany in 1984, Sepp de Giampietro's personal memoir gives an incite into the reality of life in the unit of Hitler's Special Force, the Brandenburgers.

Although often overshadowed by stories from their allies, the Brandenburgers consisted of majority German nationals, completing various daring missions within enemy territory that history largely ignores.

Delve into the details of life in the unit from the everyday concerns and politics to the training and involvement in Brandenburg missions. Given the very treacherous nature of their missions, very few of these specially-trained soldiers survived the Second World War and much knowledge of the unit has been lost indefinitely.

'A personal account such as this one, is invaluable in increasing our understanding of the Brandenburgers as a whole. It is an enthralling tale.' - Historian Lawrence Paterson notes in regards to this memoir.
