Walter Dunn reports - for the first time in English - the details
of a battle on the Eastern Front that was perhaps the largest of
all time and certainly one of the most significant of World War II.
Nearly three million soldiers (two million Soviets and almost a
million Germans) participated in a campaign in which five Soviet
breakthroughs advanced 275 kilometers in two weeks over bad roads
and marshy terrain, destroying 50 German divisions and capturing
50,000 German troops - an event celebrated by marching the
prisoners of war ignominiously through the streets of Moscow.
Hitler would never again have the wherewithal to launch a major
offensive in the east. ""Soviet Blitzkrieg"" demonstrates
convincingly that by the summer of 1944 the Red Army had mastered
the German style of warfare and was capable of turning the tables
on the Germans. Using recently declassified Soviet Orders of Battle
and his own monumental files of German and Soviet unit histories,
Dunn traces each of the Blitzkrieg offensives from the initial
breakthrough to stalemate.
