Barbarossa Through German Eyes

The Biggest Invasion in History

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The German invasion of Russia in 1941 faltered when the expected swift victory did not materialize, but it still inflicted some of the worst atrocities of the war. This examination of the conflict focuses on the experience of the soldiers on the ground and dispels the myth that Barbarossa's failure was down to Hitler's faulty decisions, apportioning blame also to the Wehrmacht leadership for not understanding the logistics of such a massive campaign.
