Review "A useful study on how the German leadership 1941 to provide adequate logistical support to capitalise on 1941 breakthroughs made by the Panzer divisions. The standard line taken by many German generals was that Hitler's decisions were almost always wrong, and if he had only left the direction of the war to them, then the result would have been different. Hoth, at least in the mid s when this book was 1941, was more willing to admit that sometimes Hitler had a valid point, and some of his orders produced significant German victories. He is a commander who cares very deeply about his soldiers and their well-being but also for the mentorship and development of his leaders I would strongly recommend this book for any leader wanting to clearly understand what command highlighted by bold, decisive action entails in an operational context. For that reason alone it should be bought and read by anyone who thinks they know about tanks, command or staff work as well as those with an interest in military history. In June he was given command of 4th Panzer Army. Infollowing the battle of Kursk, he was relieved of command. After serving six years in prison following the Nuremberg Trials, Hoth turned to writing and died at age 85 in Goslar, Germany. He also studied German at the University of Freiburg and librarianship at the University of Canberra. He is passionate about languages, chess, and fencing, and lives in Melbourne with his family. He has also translated Panzer Operations by Hermann Hoth in the Wehrmacht im Kampf series, and is currently working on another translation for the series. Customer reviews.

  • Kharkov ’43 Was the Final Successful Operation for the Axis Forces in Russia
    DESIGNER NOTES & HISTORY DOCUMENT THE CAMPAIGN Kharkov ’43 was the final successful operation for the Axis forces in Russia. It marked the end of the Stalingrad tragedy and the prelude to Kursk. It was a sweeping campaign, with large distances and low unit densities making it more akin to a desert campaign than the Eastern front. This operation was actually the Third battle of Kharkov following on the German capture of the city in September 1941 and the Soviet attempt to recapture the city in May 1942 (as simulated in Kharkov ’42). There was a Fourth battle of Kharkov in August 1943 where the Soviets liberated the city for a final time in the Polkovodets Rumyantsev offensive post Kursk. When looking at this operation it became apparent that there were three distinct phases in the battle. • The Soviet Offensive – The Star & Gallop operations, Feb 2nd to Feb 19th. • Manstein’s Backhand blow against South Western Front, Feb 20th to Mar 5th • The German recapture of Kharkov and the shattering of Voronezh Front, Mar 6th to Mar 18th It was decided to create a base campaign for each of these periods, rather than one 450 turn game. The reasoning behind this decision was the extremely fluid situation and the fact that building victory conditions for each side in a ‘mega campaign’ where the objectives changed over time was next to impossible. Further complicating this was that some units were Page 1 withdrawn and refurbished (Gross Deutschland, for example) which would be very difficult to handle in terms of game play. Once this decision was made it ensured that the individual campaigns would be playable due to their moderate length (57 – 180 turns), and allow all scenarios to be tested sufficiently.

    H-German Goldin on Dunn, 'Kursk: Hitler's Gamble, 1943' Review published on Friday, May 1, 1998 Walter Dunn. Kursk: Hitler's Gamble, 1943. New York: Praeger, 1997. xvi + 200 pp. $57.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-275-95733-9. Reviewed by Milton Goldin (National Coalition of Independent Scholars (NCIS)) Published on H- German (May, 1998) Between July 5 and 13, 1943, the Red Army and the Wehrmacht fought the largest land battle in history for possession of Kursk, a rail junction some five hundred miles south of Moscow and inside a westward bulge in the Russian front line. The Wehrmacht called the operationZitadelle . Hitler's justification for the Reich's enormous commitment of men and weapons was that a victory would offer a "Fanal," a beacon that German arms remained invincible despite the catastrophe at Stalingrad the previous January, and that Moscow's link to its Caucasus oil fields could be cut. The Wehrmacht concentrated more armor for Zitadelle than it had supplied to the three army groups in Operation Barbarossa, the June 1941 invasion of Russia. The Red Army's aim was not just to deny German objectives. It had to demonstrate yet again that it could survive a Wehrmacht onslaught. In March, even while Soviet armies surged forward in the aftermath of Stalingrad, powerful Nazi armies recaptured Kharkov, the second largest city in the Ukraine. Like the Wehrmacht, the Red Army was now committing the bulk of its armor for an engagement at the bulge. In his highly-detailed account of the Kursk battle (or, more properly, series of battles), Walter Dunn's purpose is "to examine the facts in detail to see if they reveal something that approaches a rational explanation of what occurred and the consequences" (p.

  • WWII Operation Uranus
    WWII Operation Uranus How the Soviets Trapped the German 6th Army in Stalingrad In the fall of 1942, the Red Army had its back to the wall once again. During the first six months of the 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht had killed or captured almost three million Russian soldiers. December brought the Soviet Winter Offensive, which sent the German Army reeling back at the cost of another million Russian dead. Hitler Takes Aim at the Oilfields in the Caucasus Overextended Soviet supply lines, coupled with the onset of the spring thaw, brought the offensive to a halt, allowing both sides to regroup. As replacements and reinforcements rushed to the front, Adolf Hitler began planning a new offensive that he hoped would economically strangle his communist enemy. Codenamed “Blau” (Blue), the offensive was aimed at seizing the oilfields in the northern Caucasus and establishing a defensive line running along the Don River from Stalingrad to Voronezh. The move would deprive the Russians of valuable oil and, at the same time, provide that much needed commodity to the German armed forces. It was an ambitious plan—one that would stretch German armies in southern Russian to their limit. To bolster the German attack forces, Hitler called upon his Italian and Romanian allies to supply 1 divisions for the offensive. In response, Mussolini ordered his 8th Italian Army to participate while Romanian dictator Ion Antonescu offered the 3rd and 4th Romanian Armies. Hungary and Slovakia also contributed to the cause. The Soviets’ Disastrous Results Stalin had ambitious plans of his own.

It shows Soviet troops advancing at Kalac during November of 1942. This action was part of the effort to push the German army out of the Soviet Union. The photo was taken by an unnamed Soviet photojournalist. Thinking his conquest of Stalingrad was assured—or—perhaps pondering what to do if the Sixth Army failed him, Hitler spent the first part of November (1942) at Berghof, his now-destroyed home on the Obersalzberg Mountain. (Nearby Eagle's Nest, Eva Braun's favorite spot, is still a popular Berchtesgaden tourist destination.) The serenity of the mountain location, however, would provide little solace for the Nazi leader in the months to come. While Hitler rested amidst the stunning beauty of Bavaria, Stalin listened to his commanders finalize their brilliant plan ("Operation Uranus") to take back Stalingrad. For seven centuries, Russia had succesfully defended herself against invaders—why should this time be different? Initially unsure the Red Army could effectively mount a surprise counter offensive, Stalin was ultimately persuaded by Marshal Zhukov. The plan could work, but only a few men would know about it. Even field commanders were kept in the dark. Plans to launch the attack on November 9 were changed to November 19th, due to weather.

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.
