Eastern Front: German Wehrmacht
built 178 days ago
This book and the book below are classics of Eastern Front literature. This was projected to be a three volume study, the author working his way backwards as the first volume published was Stalingrad To Berlin, but for some reason the final volume is yet to be published. This book traces the approaches to the battle of Moscow, Leningrad and Rostov, in which the Soviets get their first taste of success. Then the pendulum switches back to the German side on their offensives in 1942, and back again to the Soviets at Stalingrad. A very serious and extremely detailed study and includes many maps. This volume only available in hardcover.

In 1915 the German command decided to make its main effort on the Eastern Front, and accordingly transferred considerable forces there. To eliminate the Russian threat the Central Powers began the campaign season of 1915 with a successful Gorlice-Tarnow Offensive in Galicia in May of 1915. After the Second Battle of the Masurian Lakes, the German and Austro-Hungarian troops in the Eastern Front functioned under a unified command. The offensive soon turned into a general advance and then a strategic retreat by the Russian army. By mid-1915, the Russians had been expelled from Russian Poland and hence pushed hundreds of kilometers away from the borders of the Central Powers, removing any threat of Russian invasion of Germany or Austria-Hungary. At the end of 1915 the main part of the front reached a line which in general outline did not change until the Russian collapse in 1917.
