The creation of the Volkssturm on 18 October 1944 was a desperate measure by the Nazi government. This work follows the experience of a Volkssturm soldier from his call-to-arms through to his capture and treatment as a POW, examining his reaction to the creation of the German Home Guard and his response to the fighting into which he was thrust.
