THE CROSS OF IRON by Willi Heinrich

5 stars

A platoon of German infantry is ordered to follow behind the German army as it retreats across Russia. The platoon is a rear-guard, like fingers that keep contact with the Russians following the army. A platoon is around 50 men.

The whole book is a bombs and bullets war adventure but its also a marvelous expose of how a lowly corporal leads and controls subordinate soldiers during constant/relentless crises and combat. The author was a German soldier on the Russian Front and the book is largely autobiographical.

The best and worst aspects of human behavior are depicted all the time. Its congruent with my Vietnam combat experiences. When the shir hits the fan throw Plan A away because strange things are gonna erupt.

The book doesn't end well for anyone.

What combat experience? The last you said you were in the Air Force. They didn't even guard their own gates.

Hatched a 2nd Halloween story. Its tentative title is I'M LOVIN IT.

Its a vampire story, I s'pose you'd call it.

If memory serves, JBJ said he was in the Marines. You being the same person was in the Air Farce, uh, Air Force. Which is it?

Hit a nerve did I?

Cant get Nicole to tote your water anymore?

Yeah, I hit a nerve dead center.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

I may submit my masterpiece about the TEX/PILOT Bromance. I call it ASSHOLE BUDDIES: He's got your ass covered.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Started work on a story where the principal character is bipolar with borderline personality. Her mental issues drive her sexual endeavors. I wanna do more writing where medical issues drive the plot.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

I'm enjoying my IGGY list. There must be 30 of you on it. PILOT, TEX, LC, OGG, so many. I shoulda done it long ago.

 

[sr71plt]

Yes, you should have. You should have not made us so important that you have to invoke us twice a day too. You might as well not have any of us on ignore--you certainly aren't ignoring us.

 

[TxRad]

There is no one on your ignore list. You're like scouries in that you can't put anyone on ignore. His ego won't allow it and you're just an asshat that needs attention. Same thing for different reasons.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

My latest effort is now at 28000 words. That's 7 1/2 pages.

The whole thing is violent and sex-packed. The tentative title is SONS AND LOVERS but I may go with NIGGER TOWN, to toss some gas on the fire. Its the story of a guy whose father is an Italian crime boss, his mother is a whore married to a black pimp, and the son's activities on behalf of the father. The end is sweet. The whole deal is sick noire.

I think JBJ is really on to a new style of writing.

Don't write, just keep the stories in your head and say they're done. People can't read them, but you can tell them about them!

Whats your point? You don't read my stuff, its too manly for you.

Can't find your stuff to read. You have all these pen names you won't reveal.

I like noir, I like the grit.

You came off IGGY today, and I'm already kicking myself in the ass for being so dum.

No one was on your ignore list. Your ego won't allow it. Someone might mention your names and you might miss it. Just more 'hey, look a me' moments in the life and times (mostly made up) of JBJ.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Ass breath didn't come off iggy

 

[TxRad]

Another nerve hit dead center.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

I added a black character to my latest. She's a perfesser of African Studies and a white sex slave on the side. Such women exist. Her black husband is a cuck. WANT ME TO STICK MY FINGER UP YOUR ASS SO YOU CAN GET IT UP?

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Almost payday.

My book order is:
A novella by James Ellroy
SINNER MAN by Lawrence Block
DEATHS SWEET SONG by Clifton Adams
THE RAT ON FIRE by George V.Higgins

 

[NOIRTRASH]

All morning I scratched my bald head to figger out what in hell MANTASY is. Looks like a genre abandoned long ogo that's now as ambiguous and unsettled as LCs sexual orientation.

What it looks like is MAMA'S BOY enlisted in the Marines and is tossed out for polishing the Colonel's banana more than regulations require. Back home he saves the Mayor's ass, and is rewarded with Miss America and the Chief of Police job.

I might be able to make it interesting.
