Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union,
began the largest and most costly campaign in military history. Its
failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. The
operation was planned as a Blitzkrieg to win Germany its Lebensraum
in the East, and the summer of 1941 is well-known for the German
army's unprecedented victories and advances. Yet the German
Blitzkrieg depended almost entirely upon the motorised Panzer
groups, particularly those of Army Group Centre. Using previously
unpublished archival records, David Stahel presents a new history
of Germany's summer campaign from the perspective of the two
largest and most powerful Panzer groups on the Eastern front.
Stahel's research provides a fundamental reassessment of Germany's
war against the Soviet Union, highlighting the prodigious internal
problems of the vital Panzer forces and revealing that their demise
in the earliest phase of the war undermined the whole German
invasion.
