Hitler Moves East 1941-1943

This was the first book I read by Carell and it opened a new world of historical reporting to me. An accounting of the German serviceman on the Eastern Front as told by them. No need to speculate or theorize about their thoughts as they are told by those who were there. This is not an apologetic account of service to Germany during World War 2 and therefore may not be of interest to some.

The maps are relatively crude, and there are many unit descriptions on the divisional level. The War on the East Front is told from the German point of view. Little analysis, but some local colour.
