Nazi Germany's assault on the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941,
Operation Barbarossa, was the largest invasion in history. Almost
3.5 million men smashed into Stalin's Red Army, reaching the gates
of Leningrad, Moscow and Sevastopol. But not all of this vast army
was German; indeed, by the summer of 1942, over 500,000 were
Romanians, Italians, Hungarians, Slovaks and Croatians - Hitler's
Axis allies. As part of the German offensive that year, more than
four allied armies advanced to the Don only to be utterly
annihilated in the Red Army's Saturn and Uranus winter offensives.
Hundreds of thousands were killed, wounded or captured, and the
German Sixth Army was left surrounded and dying in the rubble of
Stalingrad. Poorly equipped, often badly led and totally unprepared
for the war, they were asked to fight. Drawing on first-hand
accounts from veterans and civilians, as well as previously
unpublished source material, Death on the Don tells the story of
one of the greatest military disasters of the Second World War.
