Notes:

This is a real book, source is the Amazon page, and I'm just going to leave the blurb here because I can't make it any weirder myself.

"Battle of Kursk, 1943. A young German conscript in an elite division of the Wehrmacht is pinned into a factory with his comrades. Just before his life ends, he finds himself awake in a world where animals talk and walk on two. Knowing only terrifying and confusing battles, Hans is elated to be taken out of the colossal struggle which consumed him.

However, Hans' past follows him into this world, and he soon finds that he is not alone. In this wild new land Hans must confront the dangers that await him and the reality of the cause he once served."
