Summary
The first book of D Day Through German Eyes has fascinated listeners around the world with its insight into the German experience of June 6, 1944. Now, book 2 contains a completely different set of astonishing German testimonies from the same archive.
These newly translated eyewitness statements by German veterans show the defenders to be determined but psychologically insecure, often deluded in their thinking, and all too human in their shock at the onslaught they faced. These unique interviews with German soldiers are a historical treasure trove of new insights, heart-stopping combat stories, and glimpses of wartime psychology that will absorb anyone with an interest in WW2.

Hoax, but interesting exploration of perspectives
From all I can find online from reputable historians, the people and interviews in this book are entirely fabricated, particularly the Typhoon B discussion. The regiments and battles are correct, as well as confirmed reports of the atrocities described by both sides. Though it shouldn't advertise itself as non-fiction, it provides a plausible human perspective from German soldiers during D-Day itself,and how ultimately most were indoctrinated pawns of a horrible regime, and weren't necessarily evil as individuals, though there were of course (and shown in this book) fully informed and aware supporters of it.

I loved the second book once again very interesting to see the German side of the invasion.
the faux German accent by the narrator is off putting.

D +1
All the voice actors did a great job. the storyes are hard to believe at times but they give more of a larger view of D-day.

my own thoughts
I'm not qualified to judge but both my parents were in the war and I always respected and admired the men and women who made sacrifices, the lost lives, the wounded both physically and mentally, the scars.. to hear accounts from these real German men was interesting, the horrific things they all witnessed aswell, the lack of knowledge as to why they were fighting, the starvation they also endured... a real eye opener for me, I just wished I could of talked about it with my parents

Great book.
It's always good to hear first hand experiences of the soldiers. Brings home the horror.

Excellent insight into how Germany saw the invasion.
Great audio book and I liked the German accents used to tell the chapters. Probably not authentic to a German but have each chapter a personality. Highly recommend.

As good as volume one
The second book is as good as volume one and I was certainly not disappointed.An interesting collection of veterans interviewed.However,the most intriguing interview was with the artillery specialist who explained the nature and employment of the Taifun rocket system.
