On June 22; 1941; Germany launched the greatest land assault in history on the Soviet Union; an attack that Adolf Hitler deemed crucial to ensure German economic and political survival. As the key theater of the war for the Germans; the eastern front consumed enormous levels of resources and accounted for 75 percent of all German casualties. Despite the significance of this campaign to Germany and to the war as a whole; few English-language publications of the last thirty-five years have addressed these pivotal events.In Ostkrieg: Hitler's War of Extermination in the East; Stephen G. Fritz bridges the gap in scholarship by incorporating historical research from the last several decades into an accessible; comprehensive; and coherent narrative. His analysis of the Russo-German War from a German perspective covers all aspects of the eastern front; demonstrating the interrelation of military events; economic policy; resource exploitation; and racial policy that first motivated the invasion. This in-depth account challenges accepted notions about World War II and promotes greater understanding of a topic that has been neglected by historians.
