On 22 June 1941, the German army invaded the Soviet Union, one
hundred fifty divisions advancing on three axes in a surprise
attack that overwhelmed and destroyed whatever opposition the
Russians were able to muster. The German High Command was under the
impression that the Red Army could be destroyed west of the Dniepr
River and that there would be no need for conducting operations in
cold, snow, and mud. They were wrong.
In reality, the extreme conditions of the German war in Russia
were so brutal that past experiences simply paled before them.
Everything in Russia -- the land, the weather, the distances, and
above all the people -- was harder, harsher, more unforgiving, and
more deadly than anything the German soldier had ever faced
before.
Based on the recollections of four veteran German commanders of
those battles, Fighting in Hell describes in detail what happened
when the world's best-publicized "supermen" met the world's most
brutal fighting. It is not a tale for the squeamish.
