In 1941-44, Nazi Germany's Gebirgsjager - elite mountain troops -
clashed repeatedly with land-based units of the Soviet Navy during
the mighty struggle on World War II's Eastern Front. Formed into
naval infantry and naval rifle brigades, some 350,000 of Stalin's
sailors would serve the Motherland on land, playing a key role in
the defence of Moscow, Leningrad, and Sevastopol. The Gebirgsjager,
many among them veterans of victories in Norway and then Crete,
would find their specialist skills to be at a premium in the harsh
terrain and bitter weather encountered at the northern end of the
front line. Operating many hundreds of miles north of Moscow, the
two sides endured savage conditions as they fought one another
inside the Arctic Circle. Featuring archive photographs, specially
commissioned artwork and expert analysis, this is the absorbing
story of the men who fought and died in the struggle for the Soviet
Union's northern flank at the height of World War II.
