BATTLE OF STALINGRAD: The Beginning of the End for Hitler in the East

1-245300

A highly graphic chronicle of the fighting of the Battle of Stalingrad, shown from both the Russians and the Germans. Examines why the Germans thought capturing Stalingrad would have been the end of the war and why the Russians thought the Germans knew more about the city than they did, resulting in the importance of Stalingrad being greatly exaggerated. Written by a Russian historian using much material previously unpublished in the West. It details the efforts of all branches of the armed forces; tanks, artillery, infantry, aviation and the important contribution of the Russian river flotilla. Contains 32 mono illustrations.
