They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

It easily and interestingly relates to real life in the military. Not a "thrill" to be found.
"Thrillers" are boring and stupidly implausible.

Cut all music. It detracts and is unneeded.

Most books are "thrillers." W.E.B Griffith writes

I like Griffin’s writing. Enough detail to paint a full picture without so much it becomes more about the description than the picture. He is a good talent.

The performance is fine. Narrator has a good ability to aurally differentiate among several characters in conversation. He does have a problem, however. He has not been schooled in pronunciation of German place names - at least as pronounced by the military - or military terminology. For instance, eight p.m. in military time is ‘twenty-hundred’ not “two thousand”. The military side of Frankfurt’s airport is pronounced by any soldier as ‘Rhine MINE (Main), not “Rhine Mawn”. These mistakes screeched in my ear like fingernails on a blackboard. The saving grace is that they were infrequent.

ENJOYABLE

The accents he uses for the various characters is somewhat annoying and Craig Lowell sounds like Keanu Reeves.

Not bad.

could have got the point across and it still would have been a decent story without all the profanity. those of us who have served could fill in the blanks

language

Excellent story. The narrator was good but unfamiliar with most German pronunciation. All in all, a great read.

Excellent historical fiction
