Albastı (npub1snh…ywgf) yes I've just started part 3. I really enjoy how he breaks the fourth wall on occasion to deliver his current thoughts, and how he gives occasional previews "the stabsfeldwebel didn't realize it, but he only had 48 hours to live." Very engrossing.
I was reading about Sajer on wikipedia, and there were some implications that the book was more a roman à clef than a factual account of his wartime experiences, but since he doesn't gloss over his own details like you mentioned, I'm inclined to believe in its accuracy.
A few months ago I read The Smell of War by Roland Bartetzko, a German paratrooper who joined the Croatian army as a mercenary to fight against the Serbs, and later the KLA when they fought for independence. He also wrote about the inglorious details like being terrified, starved, implications of being raped in a pow camp, sleeping on filthy mattresses in basements, etc, but his writing is like a high schooler compared with Sajer. (Although to be fair I still found the book interesting overall).
