Featuring original German military maps, this is a beautifully presented atlas of the 1941 Operation Barbarossa campaign. Operation Barbarossa, Germany's surprise assault on the Soviet Union in June 1941, aimed at nothing less than the complete destruction of Communist Russia. The German forces were massive and the invasion took the Red Army completely off guard. It was the one period when the Germans had a chance of achieving victory - but the events of the campaign ultimately reversed the fortunes of the Third Reich. Using contemporary daily situation maps produced by German military intelligence, this comprehensive atlas traces the day-to-day progression of operations on the Eastern Front. The maps show the configuration of the front line and the locations of Axis major combat formations, as well as the deployments and movements of Soviet combat units as the German Army's General Staff understood them. Supported by text summarizing and analyzing the operations, these 122 detailed maps provide an important insight into the German perspective on the unfolding conflict, and a clear historical and geographical picture of one of the pivotal campaigns of World War II.
