Heinz G Konsalik was a German war correspondent in WWII, and became the best selling author post war of the German "Landserroman" (novels about German WWII Soldiers).
Die Rollbahn is the road on which millions of men went to their death in lockstep. In the experiences of the East Prussian shooter Theo Strakuweit, the fate of an entire generation is reflected, the generation that had to go through the hell of war. A great novel on a startling subject: The German Eastern Front in World War II. "
A rollbahn is a German word designating a taxiway. This may be:
A one lane road, for example, in the Second World War it described key routes designated by the German Wehrmacht, for example, the route Moscow-Minsk-Brest (now highway No. 1).
Die Rollbahn
action
The action begins in the early summer of 1944 in Belarus. The company group of the 5th Company is in the stage in the village of Dubrassna on the Dnieper, south of the taxiway near Orsha. While the rest of the company is on the main battle line, the company command and entourage enjoy all the comforts of the rear area. In the front, the rifle platoons face the Red Army in their trenches. The great highway battles of 1943 are over. Except for the occasional fire from snipers and artillery, it is noticeably quiet.
The company receives personnel replacement. In addition to young and completely inexperienced soldiers, the two home vacationers Leskau and Strakuweit are also returning to their regular unit. Leskau had said goodbye to his fiancée Inge Hellwag in Koenigsberg and Strakuweit learned that he has just become a father.
It seems strange to the battalion staff that the Red Army is not using the good weather conditions for an offensive, as they were used to in the past. Reconnaissance results also give no indication that the enemy might be planning an attack. There is a deceptive passivity on both sides of the taxiway to Smolensk. Lieutenant Vogel would like a raid to take Russian prisoners and then interrogate them.
Leskau and Strakuweit arrive at Orsha train station. You have already learned from Borisov that the war is very close again. Even before they arrive at their troops via the front control center, they unabashedly make use of the supply depots [2].
Heinz G. Konsalik, pseudonym of Heinz Günther (May 28, 1921 – October 2, 1999) was a German novelist. Konsalik was his mother's maiden name.[1]
During the Second World War he was a war correspondent, which provided many experiences for his novels.[2]
Many of his books deal with war and showed the German human side of things as experienced by their soldiers and families at home, for instance Das geschenkte Gesicht (The bestowed face) which deals with a German soldier's recovery after his sledge ran over an anti-personnel mine and destroyed his face, and how this affected his relationship with his wife at home. It places no judgment on the German position in the war and simply deals with human beings in often desperate situations, doing what they were forced to do under German military law. Der Arzt von Stalingrad (The Doctor of Stalingrad) made him famous and was adapted as a movie in 1958. Some 83 million copies sold of his 155 novels made him the most popular German novelist of the postwar era and many of his novels were translated and sold through book clubs. He is buried in Cologne.
