In the Second World War, Poznań was a key river crossing and railway junction on the Polish-German border. When the alarm was given indicating the Red Army’s approach in January 1945, the city’s 80-100,000 German civilians were speedily evacuated, leaving a garrison of some 15,000 men, mostly poorly-armed infantry, to face the rigours of a siege conducted by a massively superior and ruthless enemy anxious to acquire this transport centre, which was vital for the advance on Berlin.
This is the account of Eastern Front veteran Richard Siegert, the gunner and later commander of the defenders’ sole Tiger tank. Since the death of the driver in a futile attempt to escape from a PoW camp in Russia just after the end of the war, Siegert is the only survivor of that crew able to pass its record on to posterity. His account details how the crew fought gallantly against impossible odds, even when the Tiger was immobilised and could only act as a stationary anti-tank gun post or pillbox during the last heroic days’ fighting for the citadel.

Sounds like quite an extraordinary tale! Reminds me of the movie “Fury” with Brad Pitt. Maybe that film was based on this story? Thanks again rmoor!!

The description sounds a bit fantastical — “I’m the sole survivor so I’ll spin whatever tale of heroism I want!” — but in the ebook, the forward is by a Polish researcher collecting info about the battle at Poznan, who corresponded a lot with the author. So someone else’s research & connections with other veterans of the battle was also involved. Rather than the book coming out of the blue by someone making claims all on their own. So that’s encouraging.

A lot of memoirs are dubious and there are some red flags in the description. That said, the original book is from the 80s and there is or was a Posen veteran’s group. If there were going to be accusations of fraud, I think you would be able to find them on Google by now.

I really enjoy these first hand accounts of WW2. Short at 3 hours long, but straight to the point.
