Scorched Earth Russian-German War, 1943-1944

 

Volume 1 (Hitler Moves East) ended with Stalingrad but many have agured that the key battle of the Eastern front was not Stalingrad but Kursk. This battle of the Kursk salient - Operation Citadel - forms the central part of the book. A detailed history of operations on the Eastern Front told from the German perspective. Beginning with the battle of Kursk in July 1943, Carell traverses the vast expanse of the Russian War, from the siege of Leningrad and the fierce battles of the norther front, to the fourth battle of Kharkov, and the evacuation of the Crimea, a withdrawal forbidden by Hitler. The book ends in June of 1944 when the Soviet Armies reach the East Prussian frontier. With colour and b&w photographs, situation and campaign maps, complete index, and comprehensive bibliography, add to this impressive account.
