The Willing Flesh (1974) By Willi Heinrich
Stalingrad has fallen; the German troops know that they are beaten; and Corporal Steiner's platoon is cut off far behind the Russian lines. Resourceful and cynical, he coaxes, goads, bullies his men; but somehow or other he keeps them going through the bitter hand-to-hand fighting in forests, trenches and city streets. A dramatic encounter with a unit of Russian women troops leads to the horrible death of one of the platoon in recompense for a brutal rape; but eventually, through Steiner's courage and leadership, they regain the German lines. Then follows the tension of waiting for the last overwhelming Russian advance; the futile counter-attacks and murderous house-to-house encounters, and finally the decimation of Steiner's platoon.
