Synopsis
The true story of Russian courage and sacrifice in World War II. When Hitler invaded Russia on 22nd June 1941, the Eastern front opened and with one voice military experts around the world predicted the swift annihilation of the Soviet armies. Nazi Germany threw men and equipment against Russia in unprecedented numbers: a total of five million men took part in the blitz attack along the entire Russian frontier. Using interviews and primary evidence collected in Russia, much of it never previously published, Albert Axell tells the story of the Eastern Front as it unfolds interweaving his accounts of the ordinary and extraordinary men and women soldiers of Russia with the progress of the war itself. The book is both a history and a tale of courage and endurance; unbelievable heroism combined with an implacable refusal to admit defeat, whatever the odds.
