Publisher's Summary
Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, began the largest and most costly campaign in military history. Its failure was a key turning point of the Second World War. The operation was planned as a Blitzkrieg to win Germany its Lebensraum in the east, and the summer of 1941 is well-known for the German army's unprecedented victories and advances. Yet the German Blitzkrieg depended almost entirely upon the motorised Panzer groups, particularly those of Army Group Centre.
Using archival records, in this book, David Stahel presents a history of Germany's summer campaign from the perspective of the two largest and most powerful Panzer groups on the Eastern front. Stahel's research provides a fundamental reassessment of Germany's war against the Soviet Union, highlighting the prodigious internal problems of the vital Panzer forces and revealing that their demise in the earliest phase of the war undermined the whole German invasion.

Perfect for the detail oriented
Loved the deep dive into an easily misunderstood period of the war and came away with lots of new details I had never previously known. Excellent narration.

David's Book is a Must
If you want the real stuff , this is it..
The Nitty Gritty of why things went wrong.. not always the case with popular history, as we are told..
Stalin & Hitler bith had a hand in the calamitous Eastern Front.. The Greedy Generals wanted Fame.. & the Russian Landb itself played its part... its a Long haul... well worth the trip

Looking at the Operation Barbarossa from a a different vantage point
A well-researched and composed book looking at Barbarossa from the logistics point of view as seen and contemplated by senior German leadership —Hitler, OKH/OKW generals.
