THE BATTLE FOR MOSCOW

Book Type: C

by David Stahel, 480 pages, 25 b/w illus. 18 maps 3 tables

In November 1941 Hitler ordered German forces to complete the final drive on the Soviet capital, now less than 100 kilometres away. Army Group Centre was pressed into the attack for one last attempt to break Soviet resistance before the onset of winter. From the German perspective the final drive on Moscow had all the ingredients of a dramatic final battle in the east, which, according to previous accounts, only failed at the gates of Moscow. David Stahel now challenges this well-established narrative by demonstrating that the last German offensive of 1941 was a forlorn effort, undermined by operational weakness and poor logistics, and driven forward by what he identifies as National Socialist military thinking. With unparalleled research from previously undocumented army files and soldiers' letters, Stahel takes a fresh look at the battle for Moscow, which even before the Soviet winter offensive, threatened disaster for Germany's war in the east.

Offers the most comprehensive, military account of the Battle of Moscow to date
Proposes a new, conceptual framework for understanding German operations in the Second World War
Draws from rare, archival sources to chart the inner working of the German army, as well as the 'view from below'
