When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler (Modern War Studies)

Product Information

He was also (suprisingly?) aware of the whole recent revisionist Russian history that tried to show that Stalin was actually planning the war in 1941. To be clear, this is fairly controversial and not accepted view in Russia either, but the book does a good job of deconstructing this myth as well, and showing how it couldn't been true Also the American notion that we saved Europe is foolish. Russia inflicted by far the most casualties on the German's and this author believes if the US didn't land in France and didn't help Russia with the lend lease it would have taken Russia 12-18 months longer to defeat Germany but defeat them they would have.

While Stalin was always a detrimental source of interference into STAVKA (Red Army General Staff) planning (often a source of calamity), he learned to intrude less and less, to trust his own commanders and allow them to win victories. Ironically, Hitler would mold the German armed forces into a near mirror image of the Soviet armed forces, more and more, as the war wore on. Political officers of the Nazi party were introduced into the Wehrmacht to watch over the shoulders of the German offciers. The OKH and OKW (German Army General Staffs) began to be filled with incompetent yes men, much like the STAVKA was early on, and the few who voiced their dissent, such as von Manstein and Guderian, were simply put out to pasture in favor of men who would blindly follow Hitler's dictates. Condition: New. KlappentextrnrnIn the twenty years since When Titans Clashed was published significant new sources of information on the Soviet-Nazi war have come to light and are now incorporated into this new and expanded edition.Good read on the war in the Eastern Front and the emergence of Soviet operational art to defeat Germany. As an American it’s easy to look at WW2 through an ethnocentric lens that predominantly highlights western actions as the ultimate cause of Hitlers demise (Normandy, Battle of Bulge, etc). Glantz 在結論時說了，儘管盟軍在西線確實發揮了側面牽制的作用，並且提供大量的戰略物資支援，但如果沒有斯拉夫民族付出了成千上萬的人命，是不可能擊敗納粹的。兩位作者對於紅軍的貢獻，是不吝於指出的。 In the last two or three years of the war, the Soviets fielded six million men in arms stretched over a front line that extended almost 3,000 miles from Finland to the Caucasus.

On 2 February 1943 the remnants of the Wehrmacht’s once-proud 6th Army surrendered in the northern part of the city, and the battle of Stalingrad was over.The whole analysis of strategies and tactics, and contrasting them between Germans and Soviets as the war progressed was very interesting indeed. I've also liked how he deconstructed the whole "it was Hitler's mistakes" thing that a lot of post war Germans were trying to push. This book is a pretty epic story of the Soviet perspective of their war with Germany in WW2. Mr. Glantz is a highly respected historian who does a terrific job compiling all of the newly opened Soviet records and condensing them into this book. I'd have to say that almost half of the book is just notes and references, and that is stunning to me and worthy of high praise. I also greatly appreciated seeing material on the Soviet invasion of Japanese territory at the end of the war. Precious little out there on that. This book has been recently updated and revised, so you should be able to find it easily at a bookstore near you. KV-1等先進坦克，幾乎變成了德軍的噩夢。作者說了一段故事：41年初，蘇聯派軍事訪問團前往柏林，要求訪查德軍裝甲部門，希特勒指示要“毫無保留”。結果東道主把四號坦克秀給對方看的時候，紅軍人員根本不相信這就是征服半個歐洲的德軍最先進的裝甲，大發脾氣。然後就換德方一頭霧水了，而這謎底要在下半年戰場上碰面時，才會揭曉。

Stalin, Zhukov, Vasilevsky and other members of the Stavka, or Supreme High Command, are probably the heroes of World War Two. Eisenhower, Patton, Montgomery and Bradley would have just been four generals in Russia, among scores of others who merited equal praise. Condition: VG+(4.5). Quite a few cover bends & light creases with lots of small bottom-corner creases. In the US and in Western Europe, we often have little familiarity with the scale and horror of the fighting on the Eastern Front in WW II. In this magnificent book, David Glantz and Jonathan House provide an in-depth analysis of the decisive theater of the war by tracing the evolution of Soviet military thought, doctrine, and organization from the pre-war years through the end of the conflict.
