Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German invasion in 1941 led to a series of staggering defeats for the Russians. In the first five months of fighting, the Soviets lost about four million men, amounting to 80 per cent of the total strength of the ground forces at the time of the outbreak of the war. Yet the Red Army managed to hold on. The Soviets had been steadily growing throughout in capability and effectiveness, and after the smashing of the German offensive at the battle of the Kursk salient, they were never again seriously checked, advancing to the ruins of Berlin itself. This title examines the organisation, equipment and uniforms of the Red Army of the Great Patriotic War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A stark picture of war between the Germans and the Soviets, including some very interesting illustration . . . fascinating, if chilling, reading.”—Firetrench The Red Army’s casualties during the Second World War and the casualties sustained by the German army they fought are a key element in any assessment of the conflict on the Eastern Front. Since the war ended over seventy years ago, the statistics have been a source of bitter controversy, of claim and counterclaim, as each generation of historians has struggled to uncover the truth. This contentious issue is the subject of this absorbing book. The figures reveal much about the way the war was fought, and they demonstrate the enormous human price the Soviet Union paid for its victory. That is why the statistics have been so strongly contested. Distortion and falsification by official historians have obscured the facts because the issue has been so heavily politicized. Using recently declassified information from the Russian archives, the authors focus in forensic detail on the way the figures were recorded and compiled and seek to explain why, so many years after the war, the full truth about the subject is still far from our reach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of extracts from key documents, along with commentary and further reading, on the ‘Great Patriotic War’ of the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, 1941-45. Despite the historical significance of the war, few Soviet documents have been published in English. This work provides translations of a range of extracts from Soviet documents relating to the titanic struggle on the Eastern Front during World War II, with commentary. This is the only single-volume work in English to use documentary evidence to look at the Soviet war effort from military, political, economic and diplomatic perspectives. The book should not only facilitate a deeper study of the Soviet war effort, but also allow more balanced study of what is widely known in the West as the ‘Eastern Front’. This book will be of much interest to students and scholars of military history, Soviet history, and World War II history.

Download or read book Companion to the Red Army 1939 1945 written by Steven J. Zaloga and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-12-07 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stalin’s Red Army entered World War II as a relatively untried fighting force. In 1941, with the launch of Operation Barbarossa, it joined battle with Hitler’s army, the most powerful in history. After a desperate war of attrition over four years, the Red Army beat the Nazis into defeat on the Eastern Front and won lasting fame and glory in 1945 by eclipsing the military might of the Third Reich. This book begins with a review of the historical background of the Red Army in the years leading up to the outbreak of war in 1939, and follows with a discussion of the major themes in the development of Soviet forces during the "Great Patriotic War" that ensued in 1941. The Red Army’s organizational structures are examined, from high command down to divisional level and below; Soviet combat arms and weaponry are also described in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a definitive new account of the Soviet Union at war, Alexander Hill charts the development, successes and failures of the Red Army from the industrialisation of the Soviet Union in the late 1920s through to the end of the Great Patriotic War in May 1945. Setting military strategy and operations within a broader context that includes national mobilisation on a staggering scale, the book presents a comprehensive account of the origins and course of the war from the perspective of this key Allied power. Drawing on the latest archival research and a wealth of eyewitness testimony, Hill portrays the Red Army at war from the perspective of senior leaders and men and women at the front line to reveal how the Red Army triumphed over the forces of Nazi Germany and her allies on the Eastern Front, and why it did so at such great cost.

Download or read book Red Army Infantrymen Remember the Great Patriotic War written by Artem Drabkin and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen narratives lie before you. Sixteen former Soviet infantrymen related their combat experiences on the Eastern Front of WW-2, where they fought against Germany in 1941-1945. These sixteen are as different from each other, and as unlike in their personal combat experiences as they are diverse in their personalities, ages, ethnic origins, religious and political beliefs. Since the middle of 1990s the ranks of WW-2 veterans began to thin quite quickly. At that time, some of descendants of the Soviet veterans began recording their parents' and grandparents' recollections of the war. Moreover, some enthusiasts started to conduct and record interviews with the veterans. As a rule, interviewees were asked not only about their combat experience, but also about the many details of frontline routines as well as of prewar and postwar life in the USSR. This book is based on interviews with former Red Army infantrymen that were borrowed from the I REMEMBER site (www.iremember.ru), one of the most popular Russian web sites devoted to the WW-2. Actually, the book concerns not just bloody fights. You will also read about soldiers suffering from cold and heat as well as from malnutrition, sleepless nights, lice and the exhausting, extra-long, marches. These recollections also contain many details of frontline interrelations including how the military political workers and counterespionage officers acted, as well as how injured soldiers were treated in hospitals and much more. Definitely, this book would help the Western readers to imagine what the Great Patriotic War actually was to a common Red Army soldier. The collection of interviews are provided with a Russian-English Glossary of WW-2 Soviet Soldiers' Slang and Special Terms. The Glossary would be a good aid for scholars, translators and linguists, who work on Russian original sources.
