Horst Slesina, a German war correspondent and officer, accompanied Wehrmacht soldiers in the first months of the campaign against the Soviet Union in 1941. His reports, originally broadcast on the radio, are a unique testimony of those times. Slesina, being close to the soldiers, described their daily lives, battles and victories, but also shared his observations and thoughts on the war and its impact on people. His reports, although permeated with Nazi ideology, are a valuable source of information about the realities of the Eastern Front and life in Stalinist Russia.

The book "Soldiers Against Death and the Devil" is not only a collection of war reports, but also a psychological and sociological study. Slesina, as a keen observer, analyzes the motivations and behaviors of soldiers, their attitude to the war and the enemy, as well as the influence of ideology on their perception of the world. His descriptions, although sometimes exaggerated, show the shock that Europeans experienced when confronted with the communist paradise on earth. This book is also a testimony to the dramatic fate of Poles in the territories occupied by the Soviet Union after September 17, 1939. Under the layer of propaganda formulations, there are descriptions of the lives of our compatriots "liberated" by the eastern neighbor.
