Stalingrad 1942-43 (1): The German Advance to the Volga

Although my Operation Barbarossa project might be stalled at the moment, I am still continuing to buy books and other stuff that might prove useful, and the recent publication of STALINGRAD 1942-43 (1): THE GERMAN ADVANCE TO THE VOLGA attracted my attention and so bought a copy.

The book is split into nine chapters and an index:

• Origins of the Campaign
