Born in Stockholm in 1921, Erik Wallin deserted from his Swedish AA regiment at the beginning of 1943, to join the Waffen-SS. By that time he had already participated in two wars - the Winter War 1939-40, and at Hanko in 1941, both as a volunteer with the Finnish forces against the Soviets. In May 1944 he joined the 11th SS Panzergrenadier Division Nordland, serving in its Panzer Recce Battalion. He served with this unit until the end of the war, and participated in all its engagements - in Estonia, Kurland, Pomerania. Brandenburg and finally Berlin, where he was wounded and fell into Soviet hands. He managed to escape and return to Sweden, to write this book.
