Notes -
The Outlaws by Ernst von Salomon.
At the part I'm at he's death squading socialists in post WW1 Germany. But confusingly some of his squad mates are secretly socialists and also he hung out with socialists a lot hoping they had the fervor needed to reshape Germany. At least they weren't listless quitters like lots of other people at the time. Some strange confusion where they are killing socialists (and women and children who get in the way) but also are very socialist-curious.
There's a good bit about desperately fighting in urban combat and then wandering into a part of town not currently fighting and seeing people are enjoying themselves in restraunts and prostitutes teasing him and his squad. As though they can't hear the rifle and machine gun fire a few blocks away.
