In October 1941 Hitler launched Operation Typhoon the German drive
to capture Moscow and knock the Soviet Union out of the war. As the
last chance to escape the dire implications of a winter campaign,
Hitler directed seventy-five German divisions, almost two million
men and three of Germany's four panzer groups into the offensive,
resulting in huge victories at Viaz'ma and Briansk - among the
biggest battles of the Second World War. David Stahel's
groundbreaking new account of Operation Typhoon captures the
perspectives of both the German high command and individual
soldiers, revealing that despite success on the battlefield the
wider German war effort was in far greater trouble than is often
acknowledged. Germany's hopes of final victory depended on the
success of the October offensive but the autumn conditions and the
stubborn resistance of the Red Army ensured that the capture of
Moscow was anything but certain.
