In terms of sheer numbers of soldiers, armored vehicles, guns, and the
scale of destruction and casualties, the Eastern Front was the most
active and decisive theater of war during the 20th century. For four
years, the armies and air forces of the world's two most powerful and
brutal dictators savaged each other over terrain that stretched from
the Arctic to the Middle East. The map of Europe was changed forever by
the fighting on this front, and even today, the world reverberates with
the echoes of that fighting, in places like Chechenya and the Balkans.
Despite
the enormous importance of the fighting that occurred between Nazi
Germany and her allies and the Soviet Empire, we are still uncovering
vastly important and long concealed facts about the war. For almost 50
years, the world had to depend largely on captured German records for
its understanding of the Eastern Front, since almost all information
made available by the Soviets was propaganda or even disinformation.
Over the last decade, following the fall of the Communism in Europe in
general, and Russia in particular, long-sealed archives have begun to
open, and the truth about the Soviet side of the war is finally being
discovered.
In this concise, yet highly comprehensive, volume,
readers can begin to gain access to the more accurate and complete
information that is now becoming available. Through the diligence and
expertise of a team of highly capable and experienced military
researchers and historians, including David Glantz, the
widely-acknowledged foremost Soviet military historian in America, new
information has been synthesized with the best of long-available data.
The result is Slaughterhouse, the single most comprehensive and up to date work of its kind.
Slaughterhouse includes the following features:
—Two
chapters by famed Sovietologist David Glantz: "Chronology of the War on
the Eastern Front" (with nine detailed maps) and "Forgotten Battles" of
the Eastern Front.
—The German armed forces and their allies:
Thumbnail histories of 487 army groups, armies, corps, and divisions
that saw combat on the Eastern Front.
—The Soviet armed forces: Thumbnail histories of 881 directions, fronts, armies, corps, and divisions.
—Biographical sketches of 57 key Axis and Soviet wartime personalities.
—Highly-detailed organizational diagrams of 55 types of Axis and Red Army divisions that served on the Eastern Front.
—Comprehensive,
meticulously researched performance data comparisons of hundreds of
Axis and Red Army weapons, including small arms, mortars, artillery,
tanks, assault guns, combat aircraft, and more.
520 pages, supported by 88 photos; 9 maps; notes; and extensive 16 page bibliography.
