Here we follows Assistenzarzt Dr. Hermann Türk's via his diaries from the first six months of Barbarossa. He served with the 3rd Panzer Division, during which he kept a written and visual record of his experiences. We see action at Brest-Litovsk, Berezina and Dnieper. Dr. Türk also captures the pivot to the south to close the Kiev pocket. The book ends in the winter on the outskirts of Moscow and Orel when he was wounded.
Dr Türk took over 450 color slides, as well as numerous b&w photos of this episode of the war in the east. From this amazing collection, the publisher has chosen 230 color images and 200 b&w photos. His diary is supplemented by unit diaries, official reports AAR and other sources. Also the numerous maps are excellent and in full color.
If you liked the publishers earlier books like the Panther-battalion "Brandenburg" and Endkampf and LiF series you will probably like this as well. Its a bit pricey but for that you get excellent quality on both the book itself but also on text and photos. World War 2 history at its best.
