An important reevaluation of World War II on the Eastern Front Detailed look at how the Soviet Union created more new divisions in a few months than the U.S. did during the entire war More than 60 tables list losses; tank and weapon production; and unit formation; with special emphasis on rifle and tank divisions and brigades When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941; the German Army quickly annihilated a major portion of the Red Army. Yet the Red Army rebounded to successfully defend Moscow in late 1941; defeat the Germans at Stalingrad in 1942 and Kursk in 1943; and deliver the deathblow in Belarus in 1944. Dunn examines these 4 battles while explaining how the Soviets lost a third of their prewar army yet returned to beat one of the most highly trained and experienced armies the world has ever seen.
