![]() ![]() Colonel Luck is no different in this regard he acknowledges that he knew of the concentration camps such as Sachsenhausen and Dachau that were public knowledge. I have read several memoirs of German soldiers from World War II and all have a different take when squaring the circle of fighting for the Third Reich and talking about responsibility for the Holocaust. Colonel Luck’s memoir is very interesting, he had a very interesting career in both the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht in the years preceding and during World War II.Ĭolonel Luck opened the war in Poland and fought on all the major fronts of the war to include the invasion of Russia, the Western Desert, and D-day before ending the war once again in the east where he was captured by the Russians and spent five years in a POW camp before being released. I just recently finished reading Panzer Commander: The Memoirs of Colonel Hans von Luck (last night), I don’t know why but for some reason I am on a war memoir kick right now and digging through my library and re-reading all the war memoirs I have.
