ETO: European Theater of Operations — WWII Stories by John Maino

Go deep into the campaign that ended the Nazi Reich. ETO – European Theater of Operations by John Maino is a sweeping, multi-perspective account of World War II in Europe — told through the voices of those who fought for the Allies, those who fought against them, and those caught in the middle.

The opening chapter introduces Jakub Bartowiak of Marinette, who, at the start of the Second World War in 1939, was a member of the Polish Army in Warsaw. Before the war was over, he was a prisoner of both the Nazis and the Russians: "Even though I hated the Germans, I was lucky the Russians had exchanged me with them. The Germans drafted all of their prisoners into the army and forced labor. The Russians were executing all of theirs."

ETO is a sweeping, deeply personal account of the war that shaped the modern world — told through the voices of those who lived it.
