Die 5th Jager-Division - Das Ende an der Oderfront (The 5th Jager Division - The End on the Oder Front) (German)

The victories of the western campaign were followed by the war in Russia. Weeks of fighting in a raging blizzard in the arctic cold demanded the last of the troops’ strength.

The 5th Jäger Division was constantly in the focus of difficult decisive battles - whether in the Bialystok and Grodno Kesselschlacht in the first major operation in 1941 in the east, in the battle for Vitebsk in the winter of 1943/44, or the defense of the Oder front in spring 1945, when the end was just around the corner.

The author Adolf Reinicke describes the history of the 5th Jäger Division from the beginning of the war on the Upper Rhine in the winter of 1939/40 to the bitter end in April 1945 in a gripping and clear manner, based on a wealth of authentic documents gathered over years of research.
