An interesting rarity, World War II, the Russian front, as seen by Hungarian soldiers attached to the German Army. At it's core, a test of Faith, where the narrator is alternately tested and tormented by a Hungarian-speaking soldier in a Russian uniform who may be The Devil. This is a foxhole-level war story, where P.O.W.s and rogue Russians in a penal battalion c;lear minefields literally on foot, followed by "pushers." It's a paranoid world, where Russian soldiers watch the penal "mine walkers" while being watched by NKVD officers, and the "walkers" watch everybody else. Action includes Rape, wholesale slaughter, drunken debauchery.and a thin line between "pushers" and "walkers."
