Hello dear friends, today we will familiarize ourselves with the diary of a German tank crew member.
The text shows perfectly the character of the author and his attitude toward the war.
Joachim Scholl was a commander of a Panzer VI Tiger tank with the number 232 in the 2nd company of the 102 SS Panzer Battalion Das Reich.
While he was not as famous as some other tank commanders, he managed to destroy 76 enemy tanks.
Remember to rate this video, and here we go.
Kursk, Operation Citadel
This is the moment he decided to start his diary.
July 10th, 1943
It is my first fight on a Tiger tank.
All night I was reading and re-reading the instructions for the combat operation of this fighting vehicle.
Looking back at the past training period, I replayed in my mind various situations.
I feel very nervous.
I do not remember such a strong concentration of forces on both sides since the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.
Anyway, no need to torture myself.
It will happen, and I have to do my best in this battle.
There was nothing special about my first battle on the Tiger.
Everything was normal.
We were under fire for a few minutes, but the shelling was disorganized.
Several projectiles hit the armor of my Tiger.
It was not good news for me.
We moved forward about 8 kilometers.
The advance was badly slowed down by minefields and bothering enemy planes.
Usha scored two victories, but I will nevertheless gain my hundred marks
that we, me, Gert, and Usha had bet upon who would have the greatest combat score by war's end.
It will be a new day tomorrow.
July 11th and 12th
Yes, I got my first victory.
Okay, it was only a tractor pulling an artillery gun, but it's still a destroyed weapon.
My gunner, Carl, shot about 30 rounds at it.
Heaven only knows where he was trained to take aim.
Usha scored three more hits.
Borov was way ahead of me.
I guess he got a much better gunner.
I heard that we lost four Tigers in the minefields today.
I've become very wary of moving forward.
I am planning to pull back a bit and wait while Ulrich examines the advance route carefully.
July 15th
What a day!
I think we knocked out five tanks today.
In fact, I'm not sure exactly because there was so much dust and so many tanks around.
It was hard to detect even a target.
One moment in the battle, I almost ordered to open fire on our StuG.
It seemed to me that it was the Russian one.
I do know for sure that I destroyed a Russian self-propelled gun as it was only 15 meters in front of me.
Its pieces flew even to my Tiger and banged on the armor.
I mean, this is insane.
During training, we were told that we were supposed to hit targets at long distances.
It never had crossed my mind that they meant those distances.
I think we also destroyed several of the enemy's anti-tank guns.
As all of us, including Gerrits, Karl and me, were shelling their positions with high-explosive shells.
July 16th
It was another day in hell.
The communists gave us hell on the field of battle.
We destroyed a unit of enemy infantry attempting to outflank our grenadiers.
We could hear even inside the Tiger our grenadiers cheerfully shouting
each time another of our shells fell right into the middle of the Russians.
With such backing, we felt great.
Although I have to say that it was not a pleasure to watch body pieces flying all over the place.
Our loader, Bertie, vomited twice straight into the empty shell storage cells.
He's gonna clean it up himself.
Another night has come. I'm trying to sleep.
I doubt I'm gonna make it.
I cannot get a good night's sleep for three days.
July 19th
This fight isn't going well for us.
I heard rumors that the Russian troops are here much larger than expected.
I also heard that the army tank battalions of Tiger tanks engaged in fighting far ahead
are already suffering heavy losses.
It's disturbing and frightening.
Our position is nearly overwhelmed by Russian troops.
We requested artillery and air support as we were running low on high-explosive shells.
We managed to push about 2,000 Russians into a ravine by crossfire.
We had already reloaded our machine gun belts three times
and three times replenished our stock of high-explosive shells.
I had never witnessed so much blood before.
Bert leaned down and yelled in my ear until he figured out the reason for my condition.
It was a day I'll never forget.
July 20th
We had an anti-tank shell hit our side armor today.
It broke the protective visor over the track.
What we thought it was the end in that our track was torn up.
But our driver, Robert, said that the Tiger was still running and handling well.
In the meantime, Usha dispatched two shells one by one at the position of the anti-tank guns
and destroyed both of them.
We have not yet moved to Prokhorovka.
The Communists hold very strong defenses there.
I don't believe we are going to take that settlement.
We destroy the enemy's assault guns in large numbers.
Usha said that we wouldn't count them in our bet.
This made me upset and angry since I am already ten victories behind him in this case.
July 21st
It's nine o'clock in the morning.
Can you imagine it?
Our terror-causing tank has broken down.
Robert believes it's a transmission problem.
We are waiting to be evacuated to a repair shop.
I hope we don't have to change to a Panzer III or anything like that
while we wait for our tank to be fixed.
11 a.m.
We are getting towed to the repair shop by a Tiger tank from the 503rd Battalion.
The crew has known us for quite some time.
Their commander was killed recently,
so I leave them alone with their thoughts.
2 p.m.
We arrived at the repair shops.
There are eight Tigers in line for repairs from different units.
Some of them had numerous projectile damage marks on their armor,
so I thought we were still the lucky ones.
I approached Johan Fohn.
He had recently graduated and married a Chinese woman he met during his studies in Berlin.
Right now, he's just a silly 20-year-old kid.
I have no intention of getting married until the war is over.
The repairman said we had to wait about three days for them to get our tank in order,
so we reported to headquarters and asked for a little rest.
I need to rest.
I see those mutilated bodies in the ravine to this day.
July 23rd
Something happened to us.
We were driving back to our unit.
The road took us through a small village.
Robert spotted one of the policemen kicking an old Russian man.
He jumped out of the vehicle and ran the policeman to the ground.
The policeman's fellow came over,
and Robert was taken away, probably for charging.
Oh, great.
I was left without a driver,
because three policemen are trying to extend their influence everywhere and anywhere.
I went up to the second policeman
and said that if they wouldn't return Robert to me,
I would take them to the front line and show them that ravine with the mutilated bodies.
In return, the policeman shrugged his shoulders
and said he had seen things worse.
Where can these policemen see worse things
if they have never been on the front line?
But I refused to argue,
and Robert was released by our commander.
July 24th
Robert came back again,
having some pretty noticeable scratches on his face.
He'd probably gotten a kick out of the policeman.
They let him go without permission to leave the location of his unit.
Where is he supposed to go?
I mean, how can he possibly leave the location of his unit?
I made a complaint alleging that Robert suffered physical injuries
that seriously impede his ability to do his job.
Our tank still hasn't been repaired.
The chief engineer said it will take two more days to repair.
I am very upset.
Usha during this time has made more in the number of victories.
July 25th
Finally, our tank is repaired.
The mechanics worked all night,
because the strongest special order came
to return all tanks to the front urgently.
Generally, the things are going quite badly.
On our way back,
we got an order to tow another damaged Tiger for repair.
Excellent.
It turned out to be Usha's tank.
Now I have a great chance to overtake him in terms of results.
We made jokes on our way to the repair shop.
Sometimes he was angry about the mess that was going on at the front.
He said that no one knows the whereabouts of neighboring units,
and the Russians are pressing in like a solid brown wall.
In his words,
the Russians are completely ignoring their losses.
Sadly, our forces are pretty beaten up too.
He also mentioned that there were only three tanks left in the second company.
July 27th
I didn't hit any targets today.
We have been shooting all day,
but because of the thick dust clouds and smoke,
I have no idea what we have hit there,
or if we have hit anything at all.
I am very tired,
and the crew is pretty tired too.
Robert has twice almost fallen asleep on the move.
Carl said we wiped out a couple of guns,
one T-34 and a lot of infantry.
I can't confirm any of that though,
but I'll make these victories known anyway,
as I'm still in this contest for 200 marks.
July 28th
Today we were ordered to withdraw and regroup.
It was the first time since the beginning of Operation Citadel
that I had seen the whole company in full formation.
We lost a few tanks,
most of them due to technical problems,
but some were destroyed in minefields.
Young Geert was badly wounded and was sent to Berlin.
Usche said that Geert's right arm would be cut off,
and the bet would now remain just between the two of us.
I said that Usche had won the bet,
and we would have a new one when Geert came back.
In fact,
I didn't have such a great need for a hundred marks yet.
We are heading back to the city of Belgrade.
We met a group of infantrymen on our way.
They seemed tired and sad.
I felt sorry for them,
so I asked them to climb up on the armor.
They settled down behind the turret.
Robert talked all the way until Carl and I grew impatient
and told him to shut up.
As an officer I wasn't supposed to do that.
I hadn't lost control myself,
but after this month of fighting,
I would never be the same anymore.
Battles for Kharkov and Bobrisk
Kharkov
August 21st, 1943
We retreated and fought for two days.
There was some damage to our tank,
but it was nothing serious
that would affect its operational capability.
Carl is becoming a great gunner.
He is still not so confident with targets at long ranges,
but today he hit a T-34 at a distance of 1800 meters.
He makes me very proud of him.
He destroyed four tanks today
before their crews had a chance to figure out
who was firing at them.
This is our best day so far.
I suppose our bet with Usha
is not going to be finalized that fast.
I currently have 18 confirmed
destroyed enemy tanks behind me.
In addition,
over 50 guns and other equipment
and a lot of Russian soldiers.
Usha said he already has 30
destroyed Russian tanks behind him,
but I know he is cunning
and claims destroyed guns as destroyed tanks.
August 22nd
Today we got two hits in frontal armor.
One of them hit the observation device of our driver.
I don't want to imagine what Robert felt.
Glad that my position in the battle
is not right next to him.
We feel much more confident now
because none of those T-34s
are able to hit through the frontal armor.
Three guns were destroyed by Carl today,
as well as several loaded trucks.
We already got a nickname,
Truck Specialists.
So what can I do?
Where can I find a few normal tanks
if they have been out of sight for a long time?
I cannot find the right words to say
about my commander
who sent us far ahead as part of a platoon.
August 23rd
I wiped out my last entry in my diary.
Today our tank was assigned as leader
because our previous leader,
Young Fawn's Tiger,
got stuck in a ravine.
Idiot!
Our Tiger had already been hit
at least ten times today,
and each hit was followed by a loud metallic sound.
One of the shells made a hole
in the ammunition box.
We destroyed two T-34s,
a gun,
and five more trucks.
I hinted to the commander
that I wasn't keen on being the leading tank.
He laughed and told me to take it easy.
And I do worry.
August 24th
That idiot Fawn pushed his Tiger into the mud
so that the gun buried itself in the ground
almost half its length.
The mechanics managed to get
everything of value off the tank
before the crew destroyed it.
It's unforgivable carelessness and waste.
In a time when we so badly need
all of the tanks we have,
my Tiger is under repair again.
There's a small problem
with the fuel system.
It shouldn't take long.
I had a talk with a guy
from a new battalion
equipped with Panther tanks.
He mentioned that their tanks
were no worse than the Tiger's,
as long as they were running.
I laughed at that,
and laughed until he said
that he had destroyed
about a hundred Russian tanks.
Bertie and Osha said he must be lying,
and that they only heard of
Carius and Nipsel from the army battalions
fighting on Panthers,
getting any closer
to that number of victories.
August 25th.
There was a big battle today.
We lost several medium tanks.
There were no Tigers lost.
I was again the rear of the platoon.
I couldn't hit many tanks
from this position,
but I didn't have any hits either,
except the machine gun and rifle hits.
When the Tiger was on the move,
I couldn't even hear those hits,
but I could definitely see
the tracers approaching us
from all sides.
After a couple of our shots,
the shelling ceased.
I guess the Russians
are afraid of the Tigers.
Everyone we see on our way
is running away wherever they can.
The leading Tigers
have already destroyed
a large number of T-34s and guns.
Osha even shot up
a couple of those new KV-1 box-like tanks.
It was easy, he said,
because they are so tall.
They are visible
from several kilometers away.
August 27th.
We broke down again.
Problems with the transmission again.
The engine also runs somehow abnormal.
Robert says there's dirt
accumulated in the carburetor.
I'm not very good with these things.
I have no inclination for mechanics.
We were towed back towards Kharkov,
back to the location of the repair base.
We were going to have some beers tonight.
I can't wait anymore.
August 28th.
I failed to drink a beer.
We were given a new Tiger
and sent back to the front lines.
The Russians made a massive attack
on our positions.
They kept up artillery fire
on us for several hours.
I do not like artillery bombardment,
as I have no means
of doing anything about it.
Our artillery fired in return.
I hope they hit
the Soviet artillery positions.
We were waiting in a small wood
along with Thomas and Paul.
Thomas had just recently
joined us at the front,
and Paul had already hit one KV-1.
Osha was right.
The KV-1 is an easy target.
While Paul reloaded,
we hit the KV-1 too.
We also destroyed two guns
and our now routine norm of trucks.
August 29th.
Today we had to retreat.
The impression is that
the Russians have an endless number
of soldiers and tanks,
and they are running into us
one wave after another.
There were at least
several hundred T-34s
and KV-1s on the battlefield.
I was pretty scared.
It was the first time
I felt like I was done here.
I would not like to be
left for dead in Russia.
Karl kept firing
until we ran out of shells.
After that,
we had nothing to do
but turn around
and pull back
to our infantry positions.
We saw a group of infantrymen
coming toward us
to cover us
from the advancing Russians.
After this episode,
I had the respect
and gratefulness for these men.
August 30th.
We talked with Usha and Paul
for a long time today
about yesterday's events.
They believe we need more Tigers.
I agreed.
Paul said that the idea is good
as long as the Russians
don't have a tank
that is equally strong.
I made up my mind
that this diary
would never leave my breast pocket.
Usha was given
a Panzer assault badge,
and we were all honored
with war merit crosses.
I am very proud about that.
Obrisk.
October 3rd, 1943.
It was another big battle.
I was sick of being on the defensive,
though it's easier
to destroy the enemy in defense.
Berdy camouflaged our Tiger.
The frost is severe today.
I have three coats on,
and I am almost hardly
scribbling these lines
as my fingers are not bending at all.
October 5th.
We are still in ambush,
and the fallen snow
makes us almost invisible.
We have heard that tomorrow
there will be a battle
as our reconnaissance men
have found a concentration
of Russian troops
to the east of us.
I cannot realize
how these Russians
can even think of fighting
in such weather.
October 6th.
It seems that
the reconnaissance men were right.
The cowardly Russians
made an attempt
to attack us this morning.
Our camouflage did a great job.
We killed them
with machine guns
before they realized
what was going on.
I think they assumed
that they were just
machine gun crews
because their T-34s
kept coming at us
without slowing down
until Paul and I
threw off our camouflage
and pulled our Tigers
towards them.
We managed to get
three of them down
when they finally realized
the situation
and started to retreat.
We pursued them
to the end of the hill
and left them
to our infantry.
We were still
keeping up a fire on them,
but they were
falling back on the reverse
with as much speed
as they had been
advancing a few minutes before.
We chased up
the retreating
Russian infantry,
which was not so fast,
and moved through
their lines.
There was already
a considerable amount
of frozen blood
on the track guards.
October 8th.
We had the superiority today.
The Russian Cossacks
were advancing on us today.
The overheating
of the barrels
of our machine guns
was extreme.
Osha commented
that the barrel
of our hull-mounted
machine gun
was as red
as the Communist flag.
The day after we returned,
we changed the barrels
of all our machine guns.
Verdi was displeased
that he had to go
outside all the time
and fix the camouflage
in the cold.
I made it clear to him
that he was
the youngest among us.
He had the lowest rank,
and furthermore,
it was his direct duty.
We pushed him outside,
and after five minutes
of his moaning,
we went out to help him.
We were wrong to do that.
I heated up
for an hour afterward.
October 9th.
Our tank
was totally frozen today.
We used a flamethrower
to melt the ice and mud
that blocked the tracks.
Ulrich snatched
a portable heater
from the Luftwaffe
communications station.
I suppose
they were not very happy
about it,
but the heater
fit very nicely
in our ammunition box.
We changed the barrels
on the machine guns,
and together with Paul
we destroyed
a Russian artillery battery.
This was such
an easy thing to do.
We just climbed
to the top of the hill
and fired on it
from there.
It was wonderful
to see the guns
that had been bothering us
blown to pieces.
What I especially enjoyed
was the second explosion
when their shells detonated.
October 10th.
Paul and I
were given orders
to annihilate
several more
Russian artillery batteries.
Three armored
personnel carriers
with infantry
were sent
from the division
to help us.
A Luftwaffe
reconnaissance officer
reported that
he had found
two batteries
of rocket porters
ten kilometers
away from us
on the top of a hill.
With ease
we destroyed
the rocket launchers,
which exploded
into fireballs.
For fun,
Usha aimed
at a concentration
of trucks
that I think
were carrying the rockets.
A powerful explosion
destroyed
and crushed
everything
in and near the trucks.
It melted
the snow
around the Russian positions
for a considerable distance.
The infantry,
assisted by us,
finished the crushing
of the Russians.
October 11th.
We were totally
frozen.
At night,
the temperature fell
below 20 degrees Celsius.
The fuel
is frozen in the engine,
and the tracks
were completely icy.
In addition,
a blizzard
came through just now.
I don't think
the Russians
will launch
an attack today.
I think I want
to go to Africa.
October 12th.
We're still frozen.
The snow
was so deep
that it is
quite a problem
in moving around.
We were attacked
by Cossacks today,
but we beat off
their attack.
It is rumored
that we will be moved
near Kiev.
There are large
heaters around the tank
in an attempt
to thaw it out.
October 16th.
Ulrich got frostbite.
It looks terrible.
The medics
treated his wounds hastily,
but his left arm
is inoperable.
Still,
in that condition,
though,
he can handle
a radio and a machine gun.
Finally,
our Tiger
was unfrozen,
and we wiped out
another artillery battery
that the Russians
had set up
behind the farm.
It was easy.
The Russians
made such a noise
with their truck engines
that they never even
heard us coming.
Only three shells
and one machine gun belt
were enough to destroy them.
The infantry
captured a dozen prisoners.
Some of them
were almost children.
This led to the thought
that if the Russians
started using children,
the state of their forces
was not so good.
October 24th.
The fighting
in our area
has subsided,
so we are being moved
to help the forces
near Kiev.
I feel bad
for the mechanics
who have to change
tank tracks
in the cold.
I was seriously
afraid of being left
without tracks
if the shelling
starts now.
I don't even
want to think about it.
November 3rd,
1943.
We engaged
in a battle
on the way
from the arrival station.
The Russians
advanced pretty far.
We regained control,
but the situation
is still serious.
We launched
our attack at night.
I like the local nights
in contrast
to the local frost.
The snow
gives us
easy target recognition.
We open fire
straight at a concentration
of Russian infantry.
I hope none of them
were kids
like the ones we saw
among the prisoners
at Babruisk.
November 5th.
It was another day
of severe fighting.
We had a mission
for 14 hours
with no break.
The Russians
won't let us
through that easily.
I destroyed
two more KV-1s
and one gun.
Carl got them
at long distance.
He is becoming
more and more skillful,
taking aim
at long range.
It seems we have
some problem
with the turret
pivot mechanism.
I am quickly
detecting the targets,
but by the time
the turret
is turning around,
the target
is either gone
or has already
been destroyed
by someone else
in our company.
Robert believes
it's the grease
that's frozen.
November 6th.
Today we find
ourselves in the midst
of the battle.
The Russians
are coming at us
from all over.
We got about
ten hits
on various parts
of the Tiger.
I hate that
metallic sound
when a shell
hits the armor.
We had a good fight.
We destroyed
three T-34s
and lots of guns
and trucks.
We came across
a crowd of Russian
infantrymen.
By the time
we opened fire on them,
they almost
wiped us out.
All around us
it was chaos.
I accept congratulations
from the commander
and OSHA,
although they
destroyed more tanks
today than I did.
I realized
that the second bet
was not a good idea.
November 9th.
I am very proud
today.
I was awarded
the Iron Cross
second class
for battles
I fought
a few days ago.
OSHA and Paul
both gave me
congratulations.
All of us
are being assigned
to form our own battalion.
We are to be called
the 102nd SS
Heavy Panzer Battalion
Das Reich.
Good.
With our new Tigers
we have to return
to Moscow
to join the battle.
On November 11th,
his Tiger
was hit during
the fighting
on the outskirts
of Kiev.
The crew
left the tank.
The Russian
infantry
opened fire.
Berdy and Ulrich
were not wounded.
Joachim was shot
in the right leg.
Karl was wounded
in the shoulder
and Robert
was tragically killed
at once.
They made it
to their troops
and were sent
to Berlin for treatment
and they spent
Christmas in the hospital.
After treatment,
they were sent
to Italy
where the new
102nd SS
Heavy Panzer Battalion
Das Reich
was being formed.
A period of
reorganization
in Italy
and military service
in France
before the
allied landings
in Normandy.
Italy
January 3rd,
1944
It has come
to our attention
that the African
corps has surrendered.
I am not glad
about that at all.
Things are getting
very bad.
The pain I have
in my right leg
is almost gone,
something that
can't be said
for my heart.
Our new driver
is arriving today
with the rest
of the battalion.
There are so many
young men
in the arriving
reinforcements.
It worries me
that if we are
so much dependent
on young recruits
already,
it means that our
losses at the front
are very high indeed.
It should be noted
that the Hitler youth
are great fighters,
so it's not all bad.
This is such
a boring place.
The Italian soldiers
like our tank.
Many of them
take pictures
in front of it.
I do not enjoy
taking pictures.
This place
is still very boring.
The nearest town
is 20 kilometers away,
but we are not
allowed to go there.
In any case,
it is better
somewhere else
than on the
cold eastern front.
January 4th
Today,
I got to know
our new driver.
His name is Helmut.
He was assigned
to us from the
Totenkopf Division,
and he is older
in age than I am.
He has been
fighting in Russia
and seems to be
a great guy
who knows perfectly
how the Tiger operates.
I am very pleased
as many others
got timid young kids.
I was assigned
to the second company
of our new battalion.
We were given
a new Tiger
and assigned
to the number 232.
It had a zimmerit
coating over
the entire hull.
This is for mine
countermeasures
and camouflage
coloring.
I liked it.
Osha wandered around
and showed off
that he had painted
rings and destroyed
targets on the gun
of his Tiger.
He began to tease me
and said that I
shouldn't worry about it
because it was
necessary to draw
only rings
according to the
number of destroyed
tanks,
and I,
as we know,
am a truck specialist,
not a tank guy.
I decided to draw
rings of destroyed
targets,too.
That's about
27 tanks in all,
but I decided
to draw a truck
with the number 100
inside to provoke
Osha.
We made another bet
with him before
going to France.
January 6, 1944.
We are ready
to be sent to France.
There we would
practice and train
to repel a possible
American and British
landing in France.
Osha said he had
a conversation
with a Panzer IV loader
who had served
in the African Corps.
The man told him
that American and
British tanks
can be very easy
to destroy,
especially those
called Shermans.
He said they
burst into flames
from the first hit.
The African Corps
soldiers call them
Tommy Cookers
because the crews
never practically
have time to leave
the tank when it
catches fire.
I prepared myself
to face them
in the future.
Osha said that
American and British
tanks can't
break through
any point
in the Tiger's
armor at all.
It looks like
we will have
a good time
with them.
January 10.
We are taken
by rail to France.
That's great.
It is almost like
being at home
in Berlin.
I went on
a holiday somewhere.
This is a nice,
comfortable
passenger train.
They feed us
very well,
and we have
plenty of time
to catch a good
night's sleep.
I won 150 marks
playing cards.
I feel great.
It's the first time
since our first bet
that I have beaten him
to win his money,
even if it
was just playing cards.
The spirit of
our battalion
is very high.
I feel just fine.
My leg pain
is finally gone.
We smuggled
a lot of wine
onto the train,
which we bought
from an Italian farmer.
Tonight we intend
to get drunk.
It is still
two days' way
to France.
January 11.
Oh,
what a headache.
This Italian wine
is so mild,
but you lose
control of yourself
completely after
two bottles.
Take my advice.
Don't drink
on the train.
Now I have
a noise
and a ringing
in my head.
We are already
in Germany.
The landscape
is different.
There are
craters and bomb
damage all around
the Ruhr.
Paul says
the Americans
are bombarding
us continuously.
I must not
forget to talk
to a Luftwaffe
liaison officer
about it.
I had a nice
talk with
our new commander.
His name
is Thomas.
He is young,
but ambitious.
He goes
with our platoon.
I think
his Tiger
will be
on my left flank.
It seems to me
that I can
trust him.
France.
January 13th,
1944.
So,
we are here
in France.
Four years
had passed
since I had been
here for the last time.
Over that time,
I've changed
from a small
box like Panzer II
to a Tiger tank.
I wish I had
a Tiger back then,
four years ago.
I gambled
my money away
playing cards
last night.
Note to self,
you never
play cards
with Osha again
if you've already
beaten him once.
Also,
destroy as many
tanks as possible
so you don't see
that nasty grin
on his face
and earn the moniker
Truck Killer.
January 16th.
The tank
is ready.
We are off
to do maneuvers
in cooperation
with the local
infantry regiment.
It would be
a great experience
for them to engage
in combat
alongside our Tigers.
We were warned
that we should
have a good
tank guard organized,
as there are
quite a few
partisans around.
They call
themselves a
resistance movement
and can be
quite dangerous.
I am finding
that hard to believe.
I think that if
they are so capable
of resisting,
why didn't they
do it four years ago?
If things were
as they told us,
we would not
be enjoying the
French wine now.
January 17th.
The military
training went
pretty well.
We would have
performed even better
if Tomas
hadn't chosen
the wrong direction
and almost got
stuck in the mud.
I would not
like to be
in his shoes now.
There was a rumor
that we may be
sent to the
Eastern Front again.
That's not
good news at all.
There are too
many bad memories
I have with
the Eastern Front.
We decided to
name our new Tiger
Freda,
in honor of
the mother of
the fallen Robert.
We agreed
it was a good
name.
I miss Robert.
We better
be careful.
I heard
there's a
homosexual
in First Company.
I don't want
to give him
any idea
that I'm
one of them
since I don't
have a significant
other.
I must find
a sweetheart
as soon as
possible.
January 19th
I have a
birthday.
We had
a few shots
that night
celebrating
my 30th
birthday.
My crew
presented me
with a new
diary,
with the rune
Das Reich
on the cover.
I'm very
pleased with it.
It has a black
leather cover
and it fits
in my breast pocket.
Osha presented me
with a model
of the truck,
Hog.
That guy's
really got a nerve.
I also got
new gloves.
I hope it's not
for sending me
to Russia
and a new
pencil set.
The birthday
celebration went
much better
this year
than last year.
My morale
is still great
despite rumors
of an upcoming
transfer to Russia.
January 21st
We moved
on our tank
to some
small farm.
The British
fighters and
bombers in the sky
are getting
to be a common
thing.
Today we saw
a Messerschmitt
in the sky.
It was the
first plane
we had seen
since the day
we arrived
in France.
I'm beginning
to lose sight
of what the
Luftwaffe
even looks like.
January 23rd
We're still
performing our
maneuvers
in the rain.
I hate this.
It means Bertie
is going to
clean the tank
when we get back.
He still moans
if I order him
to do something
like that.
But now his
moaning is much
quieter.
I have already
had some nightmares
about my days
on the eastern
front.
Each one
showed torn
bodies and
dead soldiers.
Tomorrow
I'll discuss
it with the
physician.
May 23rd
1944
We trained
today.
My Tiger
was repaired
and I was glad
to settle
into my seat
after a four-week
break.
We are on
the march again.
There's speculation
and rumors
of an allied
invasion
at Calais
are going
strong still.
I hope
this is true
as the
expectation
and inactivity
has begun
to weigh me
down.
I've had
enough of
training
with wooden
targets.
Another
reinforcement
has headed
for the
eastern
front.
I saw
them.
They are
very young.
But they are
eager to
fight.
June 1st
1944
We're on
the move
again.
The commanders
believe we should
expect the
allies to
come in
this week.
I don't
think so.
The weather's
terrible.
For three
days now
it's been
raining like
hell and the
wind's getting
worse.
The good news
is that the
rain has
washed our
tank.
Bertie's got
a cold.
They've put
him in
quarantine.
This week
is terribly
boring.
The latest
replenishment
seems to
me to be
a little
too eager
to fight.
I think
they will
be killed
in the
first
battles.
We were
ordered to
paint over
our rings
of destroyed
targets that
we had
put on the
barrel of
the gun
at one
time.
They
explained
it was
for
camouflage
purposes.
That's
absurd,
but an
order is
an order,
so I
sent
Bertie
to
paint
over
the rings.
June 4th.
Today we
pushed closer
to the town
of Calais.
I hate
redeployment
on the
railroad,
as our
tank
needs to
have its
tracks changed
and the
outer row
of rollers
removed.
The
mechanics
stacked
the removed
rollers
on the
back
of the
hull,
something
I am
not
very
happy
to
take
up
there
also
these
two-ton
tracks.
We
were
eager
to
face
these
British
and
American
tanks,
about
which
the
Italians
said
were
for
the
order
to
be
sent
to
the
front.
The
more
rapid
divisions
are
already
there.
The
lucky
ones.
The
allies
intensified
their
aviation
operations
and we
were
unfortunate
to
be
in
of
the
front
line.
We
have
to
reach
their
tomorrow
night.
If
things
go
well
and none
of us
dies
from
enemy
planes.
June
最後我們到達了前線
我們的第一個任務在幾個月內
卡爾失去了目標
並讓兩個Churchill的戰車離開
什麼笨蛋
最終一個戰車被擊敗
再加上兩個小的武裝人員
這很不錯
可以恢復戰鬥運動
否則我們太放鬆了
我們失去了另一個戰車
結果發生了風暴
我們的彈藥供應車
被困在了某個地方
並沒有顯示
因此我們的進步
比我們所期望的迅速
6月14日
我們坐在森林裏
我們被擊敗了
在英國軍隊附近的
計劃行動
還沒有開始
至少我們有充滿彈藥
我聽說奧迅今天
毀了6個目標
他現在在我前面
看來我快要失去
我的100分了
我們還沒有發射
兩天
我們擊敗了
幾個武裝人員
用機器槍
6月15日
今天我們進行了
攻擊一個英國軍隊
卡爾最終開始
集中他的目標
我們毀了
4個Cromwell的戰車
和6個戰車
英國軍隊召集了軍隊
飛進來的飛機
開始炸燬我們的森林
但奧迅進行了
出色的行動
把我們迫出火坑
現在天黑了
我認爲我認識了
另一個好地方
爲了防止襲擊
我計劃在那裏
帶我的軍隊
爲了防止襲擊
我們加入了
幾個Panzer IV
來自Hitlerjugend的
軍隊
我喜歡這些年輕人
很擅長戰鬥
儘管他們年輕
我們打算用他們
作爲詐騙
把英國進入我們的困境
我們的軍隊
現在只剩下
兩個Tiger
我們和Thomas
我們丟失了
兩個新的彈藥
在之前的襲擊中
受到重新支援
6月16日
我們的計劃成功了
那些愚蠢的盟友
趕赴了Hitlerjugend的
我們丟失了一個
它的軍隊
繼續戰鬥
像普通的軍隊
我們毀了
三個Sherman的彈藥
我認爲
它們是法國彈藥
因爲它們有
大,紅,白,藍
證明詞
和法國名字
Thomas
擊毀了
另外四個彈藥
後來
其他彈藥都被擊毀了
我們必須
趕快找到新的
襲擊地點
以免受到
襲擊
我們很快
就要回到基地
復原彈藥和
彈藥
6月17日
我們回到
總部
我被聘用
Oscher的公司
並且獲得了
Hauptsturmführer的職位
當然
我很高興
但我還不知道
我爲什麼
獲得了下一個職位
那裏
在Liebstandarte
他們說
Wittmann
清理了
一大堆的
盟友
他很幸運
他們說
英國人
正在
往下走
我希望
我也有這樣的目標
雖然
有那麼多
敵人的彈藥
Oscher說
我們很容易
能做到
Wittmann做的
英國人
已經
移民到
Kaine
城市
所以我們也
必須
前進
6月19日
我們今天
又失去了
兩個
彈藥
我們的航母
今天又失去
我們很滿意
我從來沒有
看到過
一枚
在天空上的航母
從我們的盟友
飛過來
他們去哪了
我們的艦長
已經
向
那肥豬
投訴了
他肯定
能躲
在地下室
的航母
如果他能
通過
門
6月20日
我今天
那些是
克拉姆威爾和
湯米克克
英國人
完全
沒有
注意他們的
損失
他們今天
攻擊了
三次
每次
損失
越來越多的
我從來沒有
這麼有效率
在東方
我們沒有
失去
一枚
蛇
我看到了
那些新的
王蛇
我希望
我從來沒有
服役過
那些
這些
我們部隊的
大多在這裏
6月21日
我毀了
另一枚
蛇
英國人
又開始
攻擊
我沒有
看到
一枚
英國人
飛行器
猜猜
蓬佩奧
可能收到了
我們的信
我們
丟失了
一枚
蛇
因爲
破綻
我希望
他們
早些時候
Helmut Juergens和Driver Ulrich Ganscheim
都在這次攻擊中被擊敗
Joachim的日記被找到
並在他被調查後還給他
有可能是一名加拿大戰略負責人
複述了他對Goring的評論
並在加拿大新聞報道中使用了
不過,這還沒有證實
Joachim被送到
榮譽的納粹POW營地
因爲他是一名Waffen-SS官員
一開始,供應商幾乎擊敗了他
對Goring的負面評論
但當他解釋了
這只是他對Luftwaffe的態度
並繼續在那些評論中
擊敗了Allied的戰鬥
他就變得更好
Luftwaffe的偵察員
並沒有發聲
他對營地的時間
非常瞭解
儘管保護員是
非常討厭Nazis的波蘭人
他對自己的國家人感到更加疑惑
Joachim在1946年離開營地
永遠留在了加拿大
他有一段長的生活
他在87歲時在2001年2月死亡
今天就到此爲止
