Operation Barbarossa 1941 (1)

Army Group South
Operation Barbarossa was one of the key campaigns of World War II, using the classic "Blitzkrieg" tactics. This is a detailed analysis of the campaign by the German Army Group South from the battles on the frontier to the German high-water mark at Rostov.

This book focuses on Field Marshal von Rundstedt and Army Group South, tasked with the capture of the Ukraine and Crimea.

Operation Barbarossa, Germany’s surprise assault on the Soviet Union in June 1941, aimed at nothing less than the complete destruction of Communist Russia.

Von Rundstedt’s 46 divisions and single Panzer Group faced fierce resistance from the best equipped, trained and commanded units in the Red Army, but ultimately succeeded in destroying the Soviet 6th and 12th Armies at Uman before inflicting a further 600,000 casualties at Kiev.

Here, von Rundstedt’s five-month advance to Rostov is examined in detail.
