PANZER OPERATIONS THE EASTERN FRONT MEMOIR OF GENERAL RAUS 1941-1945
Book Type: C By Erhard Raus. A significant postwar memoir written by one of Germany's best field commanders and a brilliant tank General. Raus entered the Soviet Union in June 1941 as commander of a brigade of the 6th Panzer division. He quickly distinguished himself earning the Iron Cross for piercing the Stalin Line. During the Russian campaign he rose steadily through the ranks and was appointed the Army Group Command in early 1945. After the war Raus wrote a detailed memoir of his service in Russia. Later the U.S. Army divided up and excerpted the portions of the memoir for use a nearly dozen tactical manuals published during the 1950's. Those manuals were heavily edited and omitted much of the author's original material. Now Steven Newton has reassembled, translated, and edited the underlying narrative of Raus's four years of war on the Eastern Front. It is the first time his complete memoirs are made available, and by far the best translation of any of his writings. A must have. 368 pp.
