Ostfront: The Complete Intelligence Handbook for Forces on the Eastern Front, 1942-1943

"This war is not an ordinary war. It is the war of the entire Russian people. Not only to eliminate the danger hanging over our heads, but to aid all people groaning under the yoke of Fascism." - Josef Stalin

"The Russian colossus …has been underestimated by us… whenever a dozen divisions are destroyed the Russians replace them with another dozen." - General Franz Halder, Army Chief of Staff

The seemingly unstoppable German Blitzkrieg- which threatened to sweep away the ill-prepared Red Army in the first year of war-has been checked. Now freshly raised Soviet Divisions are launching ever more bold counterattacks against the multinational Axis invaders. As more and more Axis troops race to reinforce the hard-pressed front line, the conflict on the Ostfront (Eastern Front), dubbed the Great Patriotic War by the Soviets, is rapidly escalating to become the greatest conflict in human history.
