Have you read this, Gerd von Rundstedt? One of my personal favourite works, provides a great description of the life of a German solider on the Eastern Front.  |

It really made me sympathize for the average Wehrmacht troops, they weren't evil demons as the enemy viewed them. They were men, some boys, just like the American, British, French and Russian troops, who just happened to be on the wrong side. (Not saying that there werent bad people in the Wehrmacht) |

If you guys want a really good book about the Eastern Front in WW2, Enemy at the Gates by William Craig talks all about the siege of Stalingrad and has panoply of stories about German and Soviet soldiers with just insane experiences. It also speaks a little about the Italian Legion in Russia.

Leningrad or Sevastopol: Which was a more intense siege? My vote is on Sevastopol.

Leningrad or Sevastopol: Which was a more intense siege? My vote is on Sevastopol. Define "more intense". Do you mean more aggressive or higher casualties? |

HEIL NAPOLEAN I!! It is Nikolai Ivanov from Tsar's own Russia, seriously No. It is the German General who invented the Artillery tactics used by Germany in Spring Offensive( it was the most successful offensive on the western front, it restarted the war of mobility and if Ludendorff had not decided to attack Paris and Amiens at one time, instead deciding to go for Amiens , Germany would have won as after losing Amiens, British would have to leave the continent or get trapped and annihilate. Americans were not in any significant number and most of them were training. This would leave French alone and now Germany has 2:1 advantage against France and Belgium with no trenches ahead them over half of front and no one to stop them from going to Paris except a delay due to logistics probably) , I could not remember his name. |

It also speaks a little about the Italian Legion in Russia. Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well! Enemy at the Gates was another of my favourite works. I really enjoyed getting such an interesting view of what Stalingrad was truly like. |
