This book is probably the best thing we will receive as a biography on Heinz Schnaufer. The basics of his life are well researched and covered in the book. What should have been a 5 star review was cut short to 2.5 stars because of the unnecessary rhetoric pertaining to the "(((muh six million goy)))". A single mention of the Holocaust and Schnaufer lack of knowledge while serving would have been sufficient but to bring it up repeatedly throughout numerous chapters was redundant. In fact, the author's virtue signaling regarding the Holocaust would have been acceptable had he not repeatedly rationalized Bomber Harris and the Royal Air Force's committing of War Crimes by the senseless attacking of German civilian targets as morally correct and a rational application of force to defeat an enemy. The book would have been more appropriately titled as Schnaufer (Ace of Diamonds) and the Holocaust! ( )
