Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
A novel by Hans Hellmut Kirst This is the novel whichhas swept Germany- the savagely funny satire on German Army life which has sold half a billion copies since there its publication last year. A complete story in itself, it is also the first volume of a trilogy to which Kirst gives the significant general title of Zero Eight Fifteen- the phrase originally applied to the old-fashioned machine gun designed in'08 modified in '15, which is now used by the German soldier to sum up all the futility and frustration of his military existence.... But Zero Eight Fifteen is more than just a barrack room farce; it is an important indication of the contemporary German attitude to militarism on the eve of the reappearance of the German army. Here at last is a devastating effective attack by a German on the rigid military mind and the system that mind produces, and is has ben rapturously received in Germany itself.
