À propos de cette écoute
Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began the largest and most costly campaign in military history. Its failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. The operation was planned as a Blitzkrieg to win Germany its Lebensraum in the east, and the summer of 1941 is well-known for the German army's unprecedented victories and advances. Yet the German Blitzkrieg depended almost entirely upon the motorised Panzer groups, particularly those of Army Group Centre.
Using archival records, in this book, David Stahel presents a history of Germany's summer campaign from the perspective of the two largest and most powerful Panzer groups on the Eastern front. Stahel's research provides a fundamental reassessment of Germany's war against the Soviet Union, highlighting the prodigious internal problems of the vital Panzer forces and revealing that their demise in the earliest phase of the war undermined the whole German invasion.

I appreciate how David Stahel criticises the German standpoint on different strategic approaches.
Almost felt as if i were in OKH at times..
Two minor niggles,
The book could have been a bit less long - not necessary to state, restate and insist heavily on german shortcomings.
Stewart Crank reads well but I don't understand why he (or the writer maybe ?) insists on americanising things like "truck" for lorry and pronouncing Moscow in the american fashion...
An eye opener
