This titanic and thoroughly comprehensive study of the German experience
in Russia is the definitive single volume study of Hitler's war in the
east. It incorporates the entire text of The Wehrmacht in Russia written
by Emmy Award winning author Bob Carruthers in conjunction with the late
Professor John Erickson, author of The Road to Stalingrad and The Road
to Berlin.
Also featured are dozens of new interviews with the remaining survivors
of the war in Russia, encompassing the last testimony of the veterans of
the Wehrmacht-Heer and the Luftwaffe. These unique primary sources are
complemented by dozens of rare photographs and long forgotten material,
based entirely on interviews with the senior German officers who
participated in the war, as originally published by the US Army
Historical Records Section in the 1950's.
The result is a comprehensive and masterful overview of the reality of
the war in the east encompassing the weapons, tactics, battles, tanks
and aircraft alongside masterful explanations of the strategic and
operational aspects, all of which dovetail seamlessly with the view from
the trenches in the form of the recollections of the memoirs of the
front line veterans.
