In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht
wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering
central Ukraine and killing or capturing three quarters of a
million men. This was the Battle of Kiev one of the largest and
most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a
battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel
charts the battle's dramatic course and aftermath, uncovering the
irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany's 'panzer groups' despite
their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for
the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the
German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers,
showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance
still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning
point in Germany's war in the East."
