Sepp does what he can to survive. At first, it might be hard to sympathize with a German sniper knowing what he's done. But not every German soldier was a Nazi, and this particular man fought with inner demons a few times. The problem was, he was in a situation where it was kill or be killed.
As the end of the war nears, it becomes clear that the troops are just falling back to Germany. He witnesses a lot of horrible things, and the details are not spared. It's gets pretty graphic at times. Saying that, Sepp also comes across as jaded, and I'm not sure whether that is a reflection of the author or the marksman.
Overall, this is a pretty look at the end of the war from the German point of view. If that's something you're interested in learning about, and you don't mind the gore, I would recommend this book. Good Book!
