German Army on the Eastern Front: The Advance by Ian Baxter

German Army on the Eastern Front - The Advance is a highly illustrated record of the extraordinary feat of arms that saw the Nazi armies drive deep into the vast terrain of the Soviet Union, to the gates of Stalingrad and Moscow. It traces the campaign from these hopeful beginnings until, on the brink of victory, the defenders and the winter contrived to slow and then halt the advance. It vividly conveys the appalling conditions endured by the invaders. By early 1943 the German advance finally petered out, leaving some 1.5 million dead from the battle of Stalingrad alone. The long and costly retreat was about to begin.

Ian Baxter is a much published author and photographic collector whose many books draw an increasing following. He is the author of many books in the Images of War Series, most recently Hitler's Headquarters and Himmler's Concentration Camp Guards, and the companion volume Waffen-SS on the Western Front 1940 - 1945. He lives near Chelmsford, Essex.
