Book Synopsis The German Russian War, 1941-1945 by : Augustin Guillaume
Download or read book The German Russian War, 1941-1945 written by Augustin Guillaume and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 1956 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interestingly this title, produced by the British War Office in 1956, was written by General Guillaume of the French Army. Nevertheless it is a first class overview of the whole of Operation Barbarossa, and is more than amply illustrated by a collection of 63 sketch maps detailing important battles and movements throughout the campaign. Planning is dealt with only briefly, and the book really gets going with a description of the Battle for Moscow in the winter of 1941/42. It then looks at the defence of Leningrad before racing forward to the Battle of Stalingrad. Details are then given of the fighting in the Caucasus. It is a treatment of the most important factors in the campaign from a military viewpoint, and there is no padding in this book at all. Part Two deals with the situation in the spring of 1943 and looks then in detail at the Battle of Kursk. Following the German failure there, the Russians advanced on Orel and Kharkov, sealing the strategic fate of Germany in the war. 1944 and the German withdrawal is treated by means of descriptions of Ten battles of destruction ending in late 1944. Finally the author analyses the German collapse in 1945. Throughout there are commentaries and analyses which help the reader to an understanding of not just what went on, but why things went so wrong for the Germans. This is an important text for the student of this enormous campaign, and cannot be ignored.
Book Synopsis War on the Eastern Front by : James Lucas
Download or read book War on the Eastern Front written by James Lucas and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic WWII history presents a comprehensive yet vividly detailed account of the Third Reich’s epic and bitter clash with the Red Army. The opening onslaughts of Operation Barbarossa began on June 22nd, 1941, as German forces stormed into the Soviet Union. Few of them were to survive the five long years of bitter struggle. A posting to the Eastern Front during the Second World War was rightly regarded with dread by the German soldiers. They faced the unremitting hostility of the climate, the people and even, at times, their own leadership. There were epic conflicts, such as the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk. But surrounding these famous events was a daily war of attrition which ultimately ground Hitler’s war machine to a halt. In this classic account, military historian James Lucas examines the Eastern Front from trench warfare to a bicycle-mounted antitank unit fighting against the oncoming Russian hordes. Told through the experiences of the German soldiers who endured these nightmarish years of warfare, War on the Eastern Front is a unique record of this cataclysmic campaign.

Book Synopsis Thunder in the East by : Evan Mawdsley
Download or read book Thunder in the East written by Evan Mawdsley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thunder in the East, originally published in 2005, is widely regarded as the best short history of the entire Nazi-Soviet military conflict. It tells the story from the pre-war expectations of Hitler and Stalin, through the pivotal battles deep in Russia in 1942-43, and on to the huge Soviet offensives across Eastern Europe in 1944-45. This final 'march of liberation' destroyed the Third Reich and set Europe's history for the next 45 years. The book provides penetrating answers to vital questions: Why did the war in the East develop as it did? Why did Hitler's Wehrmacht lose? Why did the Red Army win, and why did the people of Soviet Russia pay such a high price for victory? The first edition took advantage of the flood of new sources that followed the end of the Soviet era. This second edition takes account of what has been written over the last decade; the Nazi-Soviet war, in all its aspects, has continued to be the subject of extensive and innovative research and heated controversy.

Book Synopsis Russia at War, 1941–1945 by : Alexander Werth
Download or read book Russia at War, 1941–1945 written by Alexander Werth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1941, Russian-born British journalist Alexander Werth observed the unfolding of the Soviet-German conflict with his own eyes. What followed was the widely acclaimed book, Russia at War, first printed in 1964. At once a history of facts, a collection of interviews, and a document of the human condition, Russia at War is a stunning, modern classic that chronicles the savagery and struggles on Russian soil during the most incredible military conflict in modern history. As a behind-the-scenes eyewitness to the pivotal, shattering events as they occurred, Werth chronicles with vivid detail the hardships of everyday citizens, massive military operations, and the political movements toward diplomacy as the world tried to reckon with what they had created. Despite its sheer historical scope, Werth tells the story of a country at war in startlingly human terms, drawing from his daily interviews and conversations with generals, soldiers, peasants, and other working class civilians. The result is a unique and expansive work with immeasurable breadth and depth, built on lucid and engaging prose, that captures every aspect of a terrible moment in human history. Now newly updated with a foreword by Soviet historian Nicolas Werth, the son of Alexander Werth, this new edition of Russia at War continues to be indispensable World War II journalism and the definitive historical authority on the Soviet-German war.

Download or read book Barbarossa written by Alan Clark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1985-06-25 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 22, 1941, before dawn, German tanks and guns began firing across the Russian border. It was the beginning of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa, one of the most brutal campaigns in the history of warfare. Four years later, the victorious Red Army has suffered a loss of seven million lives. Alan Clark's incisive analysis succeeds in explaining how a fighting force that in one two-month period lost two million men was nevertheless able to rally to defeat the Wehrmacht. The Barbarossa campaign included some of the greatest episodes in military history: the futile attack on Moscow in the winter of 1941-42, the siege of Stalingrad, the great Russian offensive beginning in 1944 that would lead the Red Army to the historic meeting with the Americans at the Elbe and on to victory in Berlin. Barbarossa is a classic of miltary history. This paperback edition contains a new preface by the author.
Book Synopsis Soviet Nationalities in German Wartime Strategy, 1941-1945 by : Alex Alexiev
Download or read book Soviet Nationalities in German Wartime Strategy, 1941-1945 written by Alex Alexiev and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1982 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the determinants and character of German policies toward the Soviet non-Russian nationalities and their effects on the Soviet and German war efforts and on the nationalities themselves. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of the nature and magnitude of military collaboration with the Germans by the non-Russian nationalities, in an attempt to examine the military exploitability of the political warfare opportunities that presented themselves. Section II outlines the attitudes toward the Soviet nationalities prevalent among the Nazi leadership and the role envisaged for them in a postwar German-dominated Europe, and juxtaposes them on the views of German officials who did not share Nazi dogma and advocated a more pragmatic approach. German policies in the occupied non-Russian territories and their implications are examined in Sec. III. Section IV describes the different types and degrees of military collaboration with the Germans. The main conclusions are summarized in Sec. V.
Book Synopsis War on the Eastern Front by : James Lucas
Download or read book War on the Eastern Front written by James Lucas and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grounds-eye view of the Wehrmacht s titanic World War II struggle against the Soviet Union . . . Dawn on Sunday 22 June 1941 saw the opening onslaughts of Operation Barbarossa as German forces stormed forward into the Soviet Union. Few of them were to survive the five long years of bitter struggle. James Lucas concentrates on the military experiences of German soldiers and reveals just what it was like to be numbered among their ranks. For the Germans this theater of war was unlike any other. They were faced with the unremitting hostility of the climate, the Soviet people, and even, at times, their own leadership. They saw epic battles such as Stalingrad and Kursk, and yet it was the daily war of attrition that ultimately proved fatal for Hitler s ambition and the German military machine. In a vivid account of the misery of war and its power to despoil both nations and individuals, James Lucas uncovers the full range of the German experience during this long and terrible campaign."
Download or read book Russia's War written by Richard Overy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A penetrating and compassionate book on the most gigantic military struggle in world history."--The New York Times Book Review "An extraordinary tale... Overy's engrossing book provides extensive details of teh slaughter, brutality, bitterness and destruction on the massive front from the White Sea to the flank of Asia."--Chicago Tribune The Russian war effort to defeat invading Axis powers, an effort that assembled the largest military force in recorded history and that cost the lives of more than 25 million Soviet soldiers and civilians, was the decisive factor for securing an Allied victory. Now with access to the wealth of film archives and interview material from Russia used to produce the ten-hour television documentary Russia's War, Richard Overy tackles the many persuasive questions surrounding this conflict. Was Stalin a military genius? Was the defense of Mother Russia a product of something greater than numbers of tanks and planes--of something deep within the Russian soul?
Download or read book Ostkrieg written by Stephen G. Fritz and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 22, 1941, Germany launched the greatest land assault in history on the Soviet Union, an attack that Adolf Hitler deemed crucial to ensure German economic and political survival. As the key theater of the war for the Germans, the eastern front consumed enormous levels of resources and accounted for 75 percent of all German casualties. Despite the significance of this campaign to Germany and to the war as a whole, few English-language publications of the last thirty-five years have addressed these pivotal events. In Ostkrieg: Hitler's War of Extermination in the East, Stephen G. Fritz bridges the gap in scholarship by incorporating historical research from the last several decades into an accessible, comprehensive, and coherent narrative. His analysis of the Russo-German War from a German perspective covers all aspects of the eastern front, demonstrating the interrelation of military events, economic policy, resource exploitation, and racial policy that first motivated the invasion. This in-depth account challenges accepted notions about World War II and promotes greater understanding of a topic that has been neglected by historians.
Book Synopsis Captured Soviet Generals by : Aleksander A. Maslov
Download or read book Captured Soviet Generals written by Aleksander A. Maslov and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this work, Maslov relates the fate of those generals who fell into German captivity. After relating the grisly circumstances of their ordeal in German prisoner-of-war camps, Maslov then tells the sordid tale of how an ungrateful Soviet state condemned for treason against their homeland many of those who had served it loyally both in combat and in German prisoner-of-war camps. By exploiting unprecedented archival materials, Maslov demonstrates how Stalin and the Soviet security organs condemned and shot many of the returnee-generals, most on trumped-up charges, in part as scapegoats for the real crimes committed by Stalin and the Soviet military leadership during the tragic initial period of the war."--Publisher's description.
