Eastern Inferno The Journals of a German Panzerjager on the Eastern Front 1941-43 #3037

Edited by Christine Alexander This book presents the remarkable personal journals of a German soldier Hans Roth who participated in Operation Barbarossa and subsequent battles on the Eastern Front, revealing the combat experience of the German-Russian War as seldom seen before. After suffering through a horrible winter against apparently endless Russian reserves, his division went on the offensive again, this time on the northern wing of “Case Gelb,” the German drive toward Stalingrad In these journals, attacks and counterattacks are described in “you are there” detail, as if to keep himself sane, knowing that his honest accounts of the horrors in the East could never pass through Wehrmacht censors. When the Soviet counteroffensive of winter 1942 commences, his unit is stationed alongside the Italian 8th Army, and his observations of its collapse, as opposed to the reaction of the German troops sent to stiffen its front, are of special fascination. These journals, include original maps, some of which Roth himself helped compose, were recently discovered by his descendants, who arranged for the translation. Incredible first-hand account of the horrific war Germany waged in Russia. 264pp. 16pp. photo section Details   Price: £19.95 Options   Quantity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50  Add to cart
