The classic! This new edition of Paul Carrell's eastern front study picks up where Hitler Moves East left off.

The book ends in June of 1944 when the Soviet Armies reach the East Prussian frontier. Hundreds of photographs, situation and campaign maps, complete index, and comprehensive bibliography, add to this impressive account. This edition includes a new preface by the author. 600 pp | b/w photographs, maps
