Until Stalingrad, the Germans had been advancing at an amazing speed into the vastness of the Soviet Union. All the signs were that they were on course to repeat the enormous successes on the Western Front in 1940. After the surrender of German troops in Stalingrad, the German advances were brought to a halt but they failed to identify the Soviet preparations to exploit this turn of events and take the war to the Germans. The text is descriptive, but the eloquence is in the images. These display the men and equipment in this epic struggle of ideologies and show the conditions in which men must survive and weapons function. In these pages is charted the downhill ride of a previously invincible German army. As the Germans were forced back, they faced dwindling resources, particularly a shortage of fuel, and a failure of German factories to shrug of the Anglo-American bombing with the consequential shortages of equipment and delays to the introduction of new types of weapon.
