* A thorough examination of the Battles of Smolensk & Roslavl packed with photos showing soldiers of the Heeresgruppe Mitte The invasion of Russia in June 1941 Operation Barbarossa was an enormous affair. It involved around 3 million German soldiers divided into 105 infantry & 32 panzer divisions. Initially the German assault knifed through Russian resistance & huge numbers of Red Army soldiers were surrounded. This volume by Hans Seidler is brimming with black & white photographs showing soldiers from Heeresgruppe Mitte. The focus is on the Battles of Smolensk & Roslavl conflicts that readers may not be terribly familiar with. The city of Smolensk commanded the route to the Russian capital of Moscow & as German forces closed in on it Russian forces launched a counterattack. This resulted in a large clash in early July 1941. However the German juggernaut could not be halted & Smolensk eventually fell on 16 July with half a million enemy soldiers caught in the Smolensk pocket. Soon after this General Guderian sought to defeat Soviet forces further east around the town of Roslavl. He launched a sudden & powerful attack on 1 August & within two days the town was taken. These twin battles were among the most decisive & swiftest of all German successes on the Eastern Front. The sharply reproduced photographs in the book show soldiers involved in the aforementioned fighting. Each photo is well captioned with pertinent details about uniform & equipment. The centerpiece of the book is four colour plates by the illustrator Dmitriy Zgonnik. These pictures show infantrymen in typical dress as they fight the Red Army with detailed explanation given about their equipment & dress. This is a most informative work on a location & period that is not well covered in other volumes about the German Army & it will provide a useful reference for history buffs as well as military modellers. ...
