Stalingrad 1942-43 (2): The fight for the city

Although my Operation Barbarossa project remains as stalled now as it did back in February, I am still buying books that might prove useful, and the recent publication of STALINGRAD 1942-43 (2): THE FIGHT FOR THE CITY has recently been added to my collection.
