First historybuffed this web is awesome I'm going to borrow it: D.
Second the story is incredible if it is true that man is the luckiest, japanese, Soviet and German soldier and survive the three fronts, he was a very tough guy, without a doubt. I don't really get the attention of the movie but if I'm going to look to see if there is any book about this, it really looks interesting
Again thx for the web.
