reading question - Skryabin - 08-18-2009 Can anyone recommend me a good book to start with about WWII warfare on Eastern Front (memories, overviews etc)? Preferably in more less simple English and it would be great if I'll find it on net. Thank you.

Preferably in more less simple English and it would be great if I'll find it on net. I don't know that I can meet your desire for books written in simple English and free on the web, but I can suggest: --Hitler Moves East by Paul Carrel (great but hard to find) --Scorched Earth, also by Carrel and also very hard to find --Panzer Aces and Infantry Aces by Franz Kurowski. I think Stackpole Military History is now publishing these titles --The Road to Stalingrad and The Road to Berlin by John Erickson. These are comprehensive and detailed histories. They suffer terribly from lack of maps, at least in the edition I have. There is an awful lot of content on the web too, and it's easily found. Here's something I came across just today that looks pretty interesting: http://www.iremember.ru/index.php?lang=en Good luck! /TJD RE: reading question - Larry Reese - 08-19-2009 Probably broader than you're after, but Gerhard Weinberg's World in Flames is the best single volume on WWII globally ever written. LR RE: reading question - Skryabin - 08-19-2009 Unfortunately can't find any of those on the web, but thanks a lot for information. The link was helpful too. If you find something interesting to read online or download (battle descriptions and such), and don't forget :rolleyes: please drop me a note. 
RE: reading question - Jason Petho - 08-19-2009 Have you tried your local library? http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm4/results.php?CISOOP1=any&CISOBOX1=russian&CISOFIELD1=CISOSEARCHALL&CISOROOT=all Type in what you are looking for in the advanced search and you may be pleasantly surprised.

It is a huge library out there! Dmitriy RE: reading question - Mojo26 - 08-21-2009 "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer Supposedly a true autobiography....an excellent read of an EF grunt perspective true or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forgotten_Soldier RE: reading question - Larry Reese - 08-21-2009 The Sajer book has been called into question as a total fabrication. Caveat emptor. LR RE: reading question - Trojan - 08-21-2009 Try Alan Clark's 'Barbarossa: The Russian-German Conflict 1941-45' |
