Product Description

The last place a German soldier wanted to be in 1944 was the Russian front. That summer, Stalin hurled more than 6 million men, 9,000 tanks, 16,000 aircraft, and 12,800 guns and rocket launchers against German forces. Despite this gigantic effort and the resulting decimation of German forces, events on the Eastern Front are largely neglected by historians who focus instead on German defeats in Normandy and the Ardennes. This account details the massive battles on the Eastern Front from the summer of 1944 until the fall of Budapest in early 1945, a period when Hitler lost the majority of his conquered eastern territories and many of his best remaining divisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars German Defeat in the East, 24 Jul 2009

By	Hugh McPhilemy (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another great book from the Stackpole Stable.It chronicles the Russian Army's defeat of Army Group Centre in Operation Bagration from the
aftermath Kursk to the gates of Berlin. Good points, very clearly & concisely written with separate appendices at the end of each chapter giving a detailled thumbnail biography of the main characters involved. Clear & easy to follow maps.

Not so good, the author's modern Americanisations in the text where T34's are "blown away" and the Russian Army is constantly referred to as "the Reds".

Appendix 3 also has an unfortunate missprint where,in detailling the major tanks of the period, each has 100mm added to it's gun calibre so that a T34 has a 176mm gun & the Tiger a amazing 188mm weapon.

That said, it is still a fine effort & well worth adding to my eastern front collection.
