In November 1941 Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final
drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometres away.
Army Group Centre was pressed into the attack for one last attempt
to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the
German perspective the final drive on Moscow had all the
ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which,
according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow.
David Stahel challenges this well-established narrative by
demonstrating that the last German offensive of 1941 was a forlorn
effort, undermined by operational weakness and poor logistics and
driven forward by what he identifies as National Socialist military
thinking. With unparalleled research from previously undocumented
army files and soldiers' letters, Stahel takes a fresh look at the
battle for Moscow, which even before the Soviet winter offensive,
threatened disaster for Germany's war in the east.
