Welcome to Trench Diaries — where I read and discuss the personal stories, diaries, and autobiographies of soldiers, airmen, and sailors throughout history.

In this episode, we follow Guy Sajer, a young Alsatian who served with the Großdeutschland Division on the Eastern Front during World War II. His memoir, The Forgotten Soldier, captures the raw fear, exhaustion, and humanity of a soldier caught between nations and between survival and duty.

First published in 1965, Sajer’s book remains one of the most haunting accounts of the war in the East — a story not of glory, but of endurance.

So grab a beverage, sit back, and join me as we explore one of history’s most unforgettable testimonies from the front.
I’m your host Jay — and this is Trench Diaries.
