Stalingrad to Berlin German de by Ph Earl F Ziemke

This major study of the Soviet-German conflict in World War I has enjoyed an outstanding reputation among those interested in military history and in such areas as the development of Soviet command skills and the exigencies of total land war across a huge front.Save for the introduction of nuclear weapons, the Soviet victory over Germany was the most fateful development of World War I. Both wrought changes and raised problems that have constantly preoccupied the world in the more than twenty years since the war ended. The purpose of this volume is to investigate one aspect of the Soviet victory - how the war was won on the battlefield. The author sought, in following the march of the Soviet and German armies from Stalingrad to Berlin, to depict the war as it was and to describe the manner in which the Soviet Union emerged as the predominant military power in Europe.Earl F.
