Description

With our Army in Russia
From the San to the Donets Rivers
Although the name of the Army group could not be divulged for security reasons at the time this book was published, this is the story in words, maps, large clear photogravure pictures and excellent captions of the German assault from June to November 1941 through the Stalin Line and across Russia to a point south of Charkow (Kharkov) near the Donez river during Operation Barbarossa.
Capturing tens of thousands of Russian prisoners and destroying hundreds of Soviet tanks, Army Group "South" Sixth and Seventeenth Armies overcame Russian resistance at Lemberg at the end of June 1941 and rolled on across the Ukraine through Tarnopol, Alexandrija, Uman, Krassnograd and on to Panjutino southwest of Isjum.
No book depicts the hard-fought campaign of Wehrmacht Army Group “South” (including the Rumanian Armies) better than this one, showing the immensity of the field of battle, the enormous quantity of men and machines thrown into it, and the quagmire that was to be the doom of a huge number of German Soldiers.
