The diary of Manfred von Richthofen (The Red Battle Flyer, on Project Gutenberg, though I don't know that particular version) is worth reading, though it is not comfortable to read - he starts out very detached and treating the war as a good laugh, shrugging off deaths; daring and dashing and... at some point the reality of the accumulated deaths hits him and he becomes noticeably uncomfortable with his earlier self.
