Description

Heinz Guderian's Second Panzer Group played a pivotal role in Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. This graphic narrative recounts the extraordinary speed and success of the advance, as well as the challenges faced by the Wehrmacht. Drawing on official records from both Germany and the Soviet Union, David Higgins provides an unprecedented account of the Second Panzer Group's operations, covering each stage in detail. The narrative offers a unique German perspective, shedding light on the inner workings of the opposing commanders' plans and the crucial role of logistics in the campaign. As the German army advanced deep into the Soviet Union, they were ultimately brought to a halt by the combined forces of Soviet resistance, reinforcements, and the onset of winter. This in-depth study offers a telling insight into what went wrong with the campaign, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in World War II history.
