They were all officers. They all served on the front lines. They have all been highly decorated for their service. Five World War II veterans from the Army, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine now provide a unique insight into the most challenging time of their lives: The son of former Reich Foreign Minister Rudolf von Ribbentrop recounts his battles at Kursk. Oak Leaf holder Heinz Rökker describes his missions as a night fighter and his encounter with Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring. Reserve Lieutenant Ernst Büntgens shares how he lost his eye yet still reported back to the front. Assault Gun Commander Dr. Alfred Regeniter, whose records are the only ones from Assault Gun Brigade 276, experienced the downfall of West and East Prussia on the front lines. Alfred Eick, commander of U 510, spent several months in far-off Japan.
