No war has caused greater human suffering than the Second World War
on Germany's Eastern Front. Victory in the war cost the Red Army
over 29 million casualties, whose collective fate is only now being
properly documented. Among the many millions of soldiers who made
up that gruesome toll were an unprecedented number of Red Army
general officers. Many of these perished on the battlefield or in
prison camps at the hands of their German tormentors. Others fell
victim to equally terrifying Stalinist repression. Together these
generals personify the faceless nature of the war of the Eastern
Front - the legions of forgotten souls who perished in the war.
Covered up for decades, the saga of these victims of war can now be
told and in this volume, A A Maslov begins the difficult process of
memorializing these warrior casualties. Using formerly secret
Soviet archival materials and personal interviews with the families
of the officers, he painstakingly documents the fate of Red Army
generals who fell victim to wartime enemy action.
