I spent 12 years reenacting WW II; as a British Colour-Sergeant (N. Africa-Sicily-Italy), U.S. 35th Division Technical Sergeant combat engineeer (Normandy-France) and as an Oberleutnant u. Bataillons-Adjutant, 1./I., Panzer-Fusilier Regiments "Grossdeutschland" (Russia).
As stated, I learned more about the common soldiers, from wherever, slugging it out in the sand-mud-snow than ANY amount of books or classes could have given me...and, at the time, my WW II library had in excess of 400 books in it.
Some things are best DONE rather than read about.
