Have you read Bolaño's The Third Reich? I'm pretty sure you would have great debates aka battles with him.

My favorite fiction on wars (all on the eastern front) is Malaparte's Kaput. It gives you the scope of what a war can be, not to mention the extent of atrocities.

I often read The Kindly Ones when I am less than optimally inclined...especially the interaction between Aue and Voss...
