“A photographic record of Operation Barbarossa . . . The conditions endured by the invaders, the defenders and civilians caught up in the conflict.”—Stuart Asquith, author of Military Modelling
German Army on the Eastern Front: TheAdvance is a highly illustrated record of the extraordinary feat of arms that saw the Nazi armies drive deep into the vast terrain of the Soviet Union, to the gates of Stalingrad and Moscow. It traces the campaign from these hopeful beginnings until, on the brink of victory, the defenders and the winter contrived to slow and then halt the advance. It vividly conveys the appalling conditions endured by the invaders. By early 1943 the German advance finally petered out, leaving some 1.5 million dead from the battle of Stalingrad alone. The long and costly retreat was about to begin.
“This is a book of photographs, featuring some hitherto unseen images of the German Army on the Eastern Front in WWII . . . The pictures and accompanying text have been well researched by the author and in my view this is an ideal book for those interested in that theatre of war in WWII. The pictures alone tell the story.”—The Armourer
“The rare photographs will be of great interest to professionals and enthusiasts, but this is also a very good starting point for the novice and represents very good value for money . . . This book provides a strong impression of the happy months before the weaknesses led into an increasing string of defeats as the Allied forces began to advance on German homeland.”—FIRE Project
