Von Luck is Prussian..rich and of Noble class. He will not have much personal knowldge of the rationing and suffering of the civilains other then the ones he mentions running into.

What is of importance. Is his eatern front experince and talk of lack of suplies. These can be corss refenced with Guderians and Von Manstien;s book as well as US army studies of the conflict. To futher legitimize these books for Americans. Gen Scwartzkopf mentioned having some of these books on his desk at all times During the Gulf War in his book "It Doesnt take a Hero"
Okay. I read the intro, this guy was everywhere. Poland, Normandy, Paris,North Africa and Russia. A POW in a slave labor camp.
