HITLER'S WAR OF EXTINCTION: Rare German Colour Photographs from the Eastern Front

1-248710

First-hand visual account of the brutal battles and conditions on the Eastern Front. From the Arctic snows of Finland to the vast steppes of the Ukraine, the fighting took place in every sort of landscape and every weather condition: sub-zero temperatures that froze engines and weapons, mosquito-infested swamps, raputitsa mud that brought mechanized armies to a halt, and the huge industrial cities that were fought over street by street and house by house. First-hand accounts from reports and diaries provide soldiers' insights to accompany the candid photos of life and death to provide an evocation of what it was like to fight for survival on the Eastern Front. Contains 260 color photographs.
