  • Stumbling Colossus: the Red Army on the Eve of World War (Modern War Studies)
    Stumbling Colossus: The Red Army on the Eve of World War (Modern War Studies) By David M. Glantz Stumbling Colossus: The Red Army on the Eve of World War (Modern War Studies) By David M. Glantz Germany's surprise attack on June 22, 1941, shocked a Soviet Union woefully unprepared to defend itself. The day before the attack, the Red Army still comprised the world's largest fighting force. But by the end of the year, four and a half million of its soldiers lay dead. This new study, based on formerly classified Soviet archival material and neglected German sources, reveals the truth behind this national catastrophe. Drawing on evidence never before seen in the West-including combat records of early engagements-David Glantz claims that in 1941 the Red Army was poorly trained, inadequately equipped, ineptly organized, and consequently incapable of engaging in large-scale military campaigns and that both Hitler and Stalin knew it. He provides the most complete and convincing study of why the Soviets almost lost the war that summer, dispelling many of the myths about the Red Army that have persisted since the war and soundly refuting Viktor Suvorov's controversial thesis that Stalin was planning a preemptive strike against Germany. Stumbling Colossus describes the Red Army's command leadership, mobilization and war planning, intelligence activities, and active and reserve combat formations. It includes the first complete Order of Battle of Soviet forces on the eve of the German attack, documents the strength of Soviet armored forces during the war's initial period, and reproduces the first available texts of actual Soviet war plans.

  • The Memory Revolution Meets the Digital Age Red Army Soldiers Remember World War II by Iva Glisic and Mark Edele*
    The Memory Revolution Meets the Digital Age Red Army Soldiers Remember World War II by Iva Glisic and Mark Edele* This essay analyzes iremember.ru – an open-access oral history collection containing more than 2,500 interviews with Soviet veterans of the Second World War. Launched in 2000 as a small grassroots project, it soon received state backing and grew into a vital element of Russia’s contemporary memory landscape. The essay examines the origins of this project and its value as a historical source; just as well, it explores its evolution and the curious role it plays in contemporary Russian memorial culture. Bringing together history, memory studies, and the study of contemporary politics, the essay argues that iremember.ru provides important insights into both the Soviet experience of the Second World War and the forces that shape political discourse in Russia today. Military life for young infantry recruit Daniil Zlatkin began on July 3, 1941. After several months of intense training, and narrowly avoiding a death sentence after being accused of stealing potatoes to supplement his meagre food rations, Zlatkin found himself boarding a railroad boxcar (teplushka) with “sixty to eighty” other men on a journey to an unknown destination.1 They would disembark to the sounds of gunfire and explosions in the village of Myshkino, near Borodino, some 150 kilometers west of Moscow – a village whose name would remain with Zlatkin for the rest of his life. That evening, a sergeant (starshii serzhant) summoned the new arrivals and demonstrated the workings of the Degtyaryov machine gun. In concluding his lesson, the sergeant asked the men to confirm that they understood how the device * Research and writing were made possible in part by an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant (DP130101215) and an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship (FT140101100).

The capabilities it employed to do so surprised the West, despite being well advertised in advance and their development described in detail by the Russia-watching community in Western nations. • The distinctive Russian approach to operations in Ukraine gave rise to an impression among some observers that its military had employed fundamentally new concepts of armed conflict.

In particular the war against Russia not only was a monumental undertaking for the Nazi State in terms of economic and military resources, but also the invasion included an inherent all or nothing attitude for the future of National Socialism. Russia tempted Germany with land, natural resources, and possibly an end to Bolshevism and Judaism. Southern Russia looked particularly ripe for Hitler as he focused on gaining control of the lucrative grain and oilfields in the Caucuses. A total victory in Russia also spelled out the demise of the Jews and Communists, as Hitler believed Judaism and Bolshevism were intertwined and the extermination of both would allow the Aryan race and ethnic Germans to assert their supremacy.

The Blitzkrieg Legend: The 1940 Campaign in the West. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, 2005. xx + 507 pp. $47.50 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-59114-294-2.Evan Mawdsley.

Koch (Old Dominion University) Published on H-German (June, 2006) Empirical Approaches to Military History The world does not lack for military histories of World War II, general or specific. Hence, when new ones appear, it is legitimate to ask, do they really provide new information, insights or interpretations? Both Frieser's look at the astonishing six-week 1940 German campaign in the West that drove France out of the war and Mawdsley's examination of the titanic 1941-45 German/Soviet battle on the Eastern front meet that test. Both provide new data, or at least bring together in one book data that have been dispersed over many locations. Further, both authors look at these campaigns a bit differently than previous researchers and prod us to reformulate our understanding of critical aspects of these battles. Even so, neither is likely to have much effect on how these battles are written about in the historical surveys that college students and others read. They appeal primarily to specialists who continue to dissect these campaigns, both of which are classics in the realm of conventional land warfare.
