Books on German POWs in Russia During WWII?

The German soldier Cornelius Rost wrote a book which recounts his harrowing captivity and escape from a Soviet Gulag camp. There is a film, As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me, of the book. However, the book has been debunked as a mostly fictional account.

Sławomir Rawicz, a Polish soldier, wrote a similar account of his captivity and escape - he claimed to have escaped across China and Tibet into British India. Like Rost, Rawicz's book is also a semi-fictional account, and has mostly been debunked. This story too was made into a film, The Way Back, starring Ed Harris and Colin Farrell.

Both books, and the film versions are available on Amazon

I'm not familiar with books on that topic, but I can strongly recommend one from a closely related event. The book "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer. The author recounts his true story of the horror of WWII on the Eastern Front, experienced as a teenage foot soldier in the German Army. At first the adventure of a lifetime, Mr. Sajer's service slowly devolves into a desperate battle of survival against starvation, crushing cold, and relentless Russian artillery. His matter of fact narrative as he stumbles through one major battle after another will pull you along with a leaden heart. Maybe the best book about WWII, and always haunting. I loved this book because it talks about the horror of the Eastern Front through the eyes of the losing German soldiers - something that we never learned in history class. This book left me drained.
