Description

Walter Dunn's book narrates the details of a battle on the Eastern Front that was perhaps the largest of all time and certainly one of the most significant of World War II.

Nearly three million Soviet and German soldiers participated in a campaign in which Soviet forces advanced 275 kilometers in two weeks over bad roads and marshy terrain, destroying 50 German divisions and capturing 50,000 German troops-an event celebrated by marching the prisoners of war ignominiously through the streets of Moscow.

Hitler would never again have the wherewithal to launch a major offensive in the east.

As Soviet Blitzkrieg shows so vividly, by the summer of 1944 the Red Army had mastered the German style of warfare and was capable of turning the tables on the Germans.

Using recently declassified Soviet Orders of Battle and his own monumental files of German and Soviet unit histories, Dunn traces each of the Blitzkrieg offensives from the initial breakthrough to stalemate.
