Abstract

Education on the East Front
Boyle, Kay | July 14, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two books, "Cross of Iron," by Willi Heinrich and translated by Richard Winston and Clara Winston and; "The Train Was on Time," by Heinrich Boell and translated by Richard Graves. It was the collapse of the military front which led to the disintegration of German national confidence, and it is logical that the two most powerful novels to come out of post-war Germany should have as plot and scene the retreat from Russia in 1943. The first is author Theodor Plievier's novel "Stalingrad," published in English in 1948, and the second is author Willi Heinrich's book "The Cross of Iron."
