Mobilized on the Russian front, these three brothers experienced hell, their fate turning into horror and desolation. What could have been a heroic adventure quickly turned into an endless nightmare: two of them never returned home, leaving behind an inconsolable void. Through this poignant testimony, the author reveals the absurdity of war, a cold machine that crushes everything in its path. A book filled with pain, emotion, and heartbreaking memories, it cannot leave one indifferent: it is an invitation not to forget where the madness of some men can lead. Robert Schön was born on February 5, 1975; he is the great-grandson of Johann and Anna Maria Schön and the grandson of Georg and Leonhardine Schön. He works as a journalist and presenter on Bavarian television in Munich.
