Fighting in Hell compiles four firsthand accounts detailing the
German campaign on Russia during World War II. These documents were
originally published by the US Army, who after the war commissioned
German prisoners to detail their experiences during the war, in an
effort to understand German war strategies and tactics. The
accounts presented here detail a never before seen perspective on
the Russian campaign. The soldiers reveal how the soldiers sent to
Russia were neither trained nor equipped to withstand the full fury
of the elements on the Eastern front. The German war in Russia was
so brutal in all its extremes that all past experiences paled
beside it. Everything in Russia from the land, to the climate, to
the distances and above all the people, were harder, harsher, more
unforgiving and more deadly than anything the average German
soldier had ever faced before. One panzer-grenadier who fought in
the West and in Russia summed it up best when he said "In the West
war was the same honorable old game; nobody went out of his way to
be vicious, and fighting stopped often by five in the afternoon.
But in the East, the Russians were trying to kill you all the
time." Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are
proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in
history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his
henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil
War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome,
medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title
we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national
bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are
sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise
find a home.
