Description

Operation Don's Main Attack: A Detailed Study of the Soviet Southern Front's Advance on Rostov. The defeat of German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in December 1942 marked a turning point on the Eastern Front, as the Germans struggled to establish a new defensive front against the advancing Soviet forces. This book provides a detailed account of the dramatic clash of armies that followed, covering an area of over 1,600 kilometers. Drawing on recently released Russian archival material, David M. Glantz offers a close-up examination of Operation Don, the Soviet offensive by the Red Army's Southern front aimed at capturing Rostov in January-February 1943. The book includes plans, daily reports, situation maps, and strength and casualty reports from the forces that participated in the operation. Glantz's work delves into previously unexplored topics, such as unit strengths and losses, and provides insights into military strategy, combat tactics, and operational art of key figures like Generals Eremenko and Malinovsky. This study offers a fresh perspective on a critical but largely forgotten Soviet military operation, shedding new light on the nature of World War II's most devastating conflict.
