"The war on the Eastern Front was the most bloody campaign of World War II. Some 30 millian soldiers and civilians died during the course of four long years of conflict, and in the aftermath the whole of Poland, European Russia, and Germany lay in ruins as a result of the fighting. Eastern Front in World War II: Hitler's Russian War in Photographs is an illustrated record of this devastating campaign. Drawing on previously unpublished photographs from a former Soviet archive, the book presents a unique and visually stunning account of one of history's most ferocious wars, telling the story of what happened from the perspective of the ordinary men and women who took part in this epic struggle. Although major battles such as Stalingrad, Kursk, and Berlin are covered in some depth, the book focuses on the war from the soldier's point of view, showing what life was like for the men and women serving in the Soviet armed forces. Ordered chronologically, the chapters chart the progress of the war on land, air, and sea, from the dusty summer months to the icy, freezing depths of the Russian winter."--Page 4 of cover
