À propos de cet audio
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.

Technical, sometimes repetitive and lacking humanity considering the barbaric methods of this campaign.
Amazingly sterilized account of Hitler's military Waterloo from primarily a German perspective. The outright atrocities committed by the military were but glossed over.

Important scholarly work
This is a serious scholarly work, aimed at historians and informed laypersons. It’s not for those reading about the subject for the first time. The author’s thesis is compelling, but also stated so many times it became repetitive. The book focuses primarily on operations of Army Group Centre; other fronts, the Luftwaffe and the Soviet perspective are almost peripheral. I was hoping for a detailed explanation for why a drive on Moscow in early September 1941 was doomed to fail, but the book ends as the Wehrmacht turns south. The book intrigues by suggesting the turn south to Kyiv was the best of bad options. A must read for serious scholars of the war in Russia.
