Excellent- More about The German Infantryman on the Eastern Front
The German Army was all-conquering until late 1941, when it ran out of steam. Maniacal defense, the Russian winter, and exhaustion all played their part, and the Germans had lost too many of their best men. Soviet defenses had stiffened, and their equipment had improved. Complicity in the massacres of the SS-Einsatzgruppen, the barbarity of the anti-Partisan operations, and summary execution for those who flagged were the hallmarks of the German Army's fight for survival against people it considered less than human. This title provides valuable insights into the Germans' main theater of operations in World War II.

The German Army was an unstoppable force until late 1941, when it encountered significant obstacles just a few miles from Moscow. A combination of factors, including maniacal defense, the harsh Russian winter, and exhaustion, contributed to their defeat. Despite their continued offensives into 1942, Soviet defenses had strengthened, thanks to improved equipment such as the T-34 tank and the loss of many experienced German officers. The German Army's fight for survival against the people it considered less than human was marked by complicity in the massacres of the SS-Einsatzgruppen, the brutality of anti-Partisan operations, and summary execution for those who flagged.
Despite being outnumbered and facing attacks on multiple fronts, the German servicemen endured the hell of the Eastern Front until their armies were destroyed in 1945. While the regime they fought for and its reprehensible actions should never be forgotten, the courage and resilience of the German infantrymen cannot be denied. This book, fully illustrated with over 200 contemporary photographs and illustrations, provides valuable insights into the German Army's main theater of operations in World War II. It explores a wide range of topics, including uniform, weapons, provisions, tactics, and communications, offering a comprehensive understanding of the German military's efforts in the Eastern Front.
