Barbarossa to Berlin Volume One

This is a chronological account of the campaigns on the Eastern Front, following the German advance from the Soviet frontier to the Red Army's bitter defense of Stalingrad. This day-by-day survey allows the reader to obtain an understanding of the scale of the conflict and to assess the impact of distance and time upon operations or to concentrate upon a specific battle as it unfolded. By detailing each combat sector, be it the encirclement battles in the north or sweeping advances in the south, the reader is able to study a chosen area of operations in isolation while also assessing its impact upon the wider campaign.
