Description of the Book:

• What happened after the ten-day blitzkrieg on the Eastern Front? The events didn’t stop easily. Almost one crore people were caught in an endless battle, with familiar and unfamiliar commanders, soldiers' diaries, and writings from German doctors that reveal untold stories.

• This book brings you to the first phase of Operation Barbarossa — the German-Soviet struggle in central Russia as the German forces advance towards Moscow, while the opposing Red Army soldiers face their heroic struggles. Though the story may seem like an epic fight, it constantly touches upon the harsh reality and reminds us of the bloody history.

• On July 10, even before the morning light broke, the German Panzer and motorized infantry divisions began crossing the Niper and West Vistula rivers. Their main target: the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow. At first, it seemed that the German dream of capturing Moscow was not far from reality, but what did they actually encounter on the ground?

• In the pages of this book, you’ll find references to Soviet Katyusha rockets, German Stuka dive bombers, Commissar Orders versus Order-270, German Panzers versus Russian T-34 tanks, Russian snipers versus German sharpshooters, and the iconic battle between Landsers and Ivans. The battle never seems to end — a life-and-death war of machines against machines, proving the theories on paper in the real world. Sometimes it’s the clash of two opposing army doctrines; other times, the conflict of contrasting military arts, or even the mere seconds of judgment in battle.

• The Führer and The Boss are the central characters in this story. To understand their decisions, actions, and the nerve-wracking struggle that follows their invisible axis, this incredible true-to-life story of war history must be read.
