Operation Barbarossa and the Eastern Front, 1941

Operation Barbarossa and the Eastern Front 1941 is a highly illustrated record of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, which began on 22 June, 1941. Across a stretch of land over 1,800 miles long, over 4.5 million troops from the Axis powers marched to deliver what they thought would be a resounding blow to Soviet power in what was and still is the largest invasion in the history of warfare.

Using an extensive collection of rare and previously unpublished photographs together with detailed captions and accompanying text, Operation Barbarossa and the Eastern Front 1941 provides a unique insight into the troops, tanks, weapons, uniforms and battlegrounds used during this bitter and costly campaign. It is an ideal reference for Second World War enthusiasts, scholars and modelers alike.
