Cross of Iron is a war novel written by Willi Heinrich, set on the Eastern Front during World War II. The story follows Sergeant Steiner and his platoon as they fight against the Soviet forces and the ambitions of a Prussian officer. Considered one of the great German novels about the war, it stands out for its realism, intense pace, and portrayal of combatants in extreme conditions.
Willi Heinrich was a German author and soldier. During the Second World War he fought in the 101st Jäger Division, which suffered massive losses on the Eastern Front, and his combat experiences inspired his first successful novel, Das geduldige Fleisch (1955), published in English translation as The Willing Flesh in the United Kingdom and as The Cross of Iron in the United States (1956). He later wrote a series of popular genre novels in the 1970s and 1980s.
