After the death of two dear military friends, I decided that their stories and mine needed to be told, as these stories disappear when we depart the earth. All these stories have one thing in common, the story tellers made it through their experiences and lived to tell their tales! These are stories by Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Air-force and Coast Guard with some foreign stories. We tell these stories to ease painful memories and to try to explain their experiences to friends and family. These stories are from the American Civil War to current conflicts and range from, humorous, to unbelievable and many are told over many years and many tears We also tell these stories to other veterans as they DO understand as they have been there too!

"Plodding through mud up to the knees for days on end with a 25lb pack plus weapons and ammunition made me curse the war in no uncertain terms. Then one day I heard a soldier behind me praying, 'Dear God, help me pick up me feet, I'll put the bastards down'." Captain Glenn Davidson, New Guinea, WWII A collection of stories that are entertaining, emotional and humorous, Soldiers' Tales is a wonderful tribute to the Aussie Digger. From World War One to the modern day conflict, Australian soldiers share their stories and anecdotes usually saved for Anzac Day or a catch-up with mates over a cup of tea or an icy cold beer. In their own words they provide a fascinating glimpse of the many funny and touching moments that our Diggers often hold tight to their chest. The collection of stories featured in Soldiers' Tales vividly provide a taste of what a soldier's life is like in both war and peace. From the pyramids of Egypt where a pint-sized Captain used lateral thinking to gain respect; Anzac day on the porch with Banjo; playing golf in Baghdad or a scorpion in the pants in Vietnam; their stories showcase the sense of humour and the importance of mateship to the Aussie digger. Soldiers' Tales is a collection of yarns to warm the heart and bring a smile to your face or a tear to the eye. A wonderful collection of stories that will delight readers of all ages and linger on well after the book has been put aside.
On a visit to the British National Archive in 2001, Sonke Neitzel made a remarkable discovery: reams of meticulously transcribed conversations among German POWs that had been covertly recorded and recently declassified. Netizel would later find another collection of transcriptions, twice as extensive, in the National Archive in Washington. These were discoveries that would provide a unique and profoundly important window into the true mentality of the soldiers in the Wehrmacht, the Luftwaffe, the German navy, and the military in general -- almost all of whom had insisted on their own honourable behaviour during the war. Collaborating with renowned social psychologist Harald Welzer, Neitzel examines these conversations -- and the casual, pitiless brutality omnipresent in them -- from a historical and psychological perspective, and in reconstucting the frameworks and situations behind these conversations, they have created a powerful narrative of wartime experience.
