Interesting P12 mention by Sulberger about 50K Alsatians being called up and distributed no more than 4 per platoon.

Has anyone read The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer? Sajer claimed to have been an Alsatian. Any thoughts on the book?

I guess in this context an Alsation is somebody from the part of Germany next to France, or vice versa, and not a German Shepherd, which was my first thought.

My other first thought was that I had read a book named "The Forgotten Soldier" about the Eastern front several decades ago, but that was a novel and not a memoir, as the book by Sajer appears to be. So I am no help on that one.
