Eastern Front: the Great Collapse

"Eastern Front: Collapse" tells the story of the Red Army's all-out offensive after the Battle of Belarus, including the battle in the Baltic Sea region, as well as the Soviet advance into southeastern Europe and the German mainland. Under the attack of the Soviet army, the German army suffered heavy losses in Poland. Its heavy troop group deployed in Romania was almost completely wiped out, and the Budapest group was surrounded. During the course of the war, Germany's allies betrayed one after another. This book analyzes the operational concept and process from both the German and Soviet perspectives, with detailed content and clear narrative. The whole book is divided into four parts. The first part is "The Battle of Western Ukraine", which describes the situation in the "Northern Ukraine" theater, the Battle of Lviv, and the details of the fierce battle between the Soviet Union and Germany on the Vistula River. The second part is "The Battle of Romania", which introduces the situation in the Romanian theater in the spring and summer and on the eve of the war. It also gives a detailed description of the "pocket" battle of Kishinev-Iasi, and summarizes the war in the Romanian "theater". The third and fourth parts are two special chapters, which mainly introduce the situation of the German army on the Eastern Front that collapsed from the summer of 1943 to the summer of 1944, and the economic situation during the Soviet-German War from 1943 to 1944.
