The Savage Mountain - Willi Heinrich
Three German soldiers hole up in a tiny Czech village, the suspected headquarters of the partisans. They pretend to be deserters - but each one has his own pattern for survival, each one lives in the constant awareness that some time will come the crushing degradation of complete moral & physical defeat, the frightful havoc of a once-powerful army crushed & battered into the mud, the shocking impact of metal tearing through flesh & bone - & the terrible moment that would surely come, the time to live - or the time to die...
