The last place a German soldier wanted to be in 1944 was the Eastern Front. That summer, Stalin hurled millions of men and thousands of tanks and planes against German forces across a broad front. In a series of massive, devastating battles, the Red Army decimated Hitler's Army Group Center in Belorussia, annihilated Army Group South in the Ukraine, and inflicted crushing casualties while taking Rumania and Hungary. By the time Budapest fell to the Soviets in February 1945, the German Army had been slaughtered--and the Third Reich was in its death throes.
Samuel W. Mitcham, Jr., has written more than twenty books on World War II.
Introduction; The Cannae of Army Group Centre; The Loss of the Ukraine; Stabilising the Front; Into the Courland Pocket; Rumania; The Retreat from the Balkans; The Battle for Hungary.
"Mitcham has done it again. Those who admired his earlier work on Rommel will find all the same qualities here: solid research, careful analysis, and, above all, great writing." -- Robert Citino "Mitcham has provided an extremely valuable service to the general reader of military history.... Numerous charts, tables, maps, and appendices are included for those who want more detail, but the narrative flows in a smooth fashion in highly readable and dramatic prose." -- Walter Dunn
