In 1944, when the entire Russo-German front was "ablaze" under continual Soviet attacks, wrong estimations by the highest German command led to critical decisions with grave consequences. The Red Army was growing increasingly stronger, and launched a major offensive. This in-depth study uses presently available sources and the reports of still-living participants, to document the events on the Eastern Front of 1944. It tells the story from the German point of view, reflecting on what is considered the most barbarous fighting of World War II.Buchner, Alex is the author of 'Ostfront 1944 The German Defensive Battles on the Russian Front 1944' with ISBN 9780887402821 and ISBN 0887402828.
