Eastern Front (3 Vols), The

Synopsis: 3: As 1944 dawned on the Eastern Front, Allied victory looked inevitable, but the Red Army’s year-long thrust to Germany’s border would be bought at a frighteningly high price. Operation Bagration saw the destruction of Wehrmacht forces in Bylorussia and Soviet tanks overran Minsk, but Hitler refused to withdraw. After Stalin punished the Poles by delaying the liberation of Warsaw, Zhukov’s push to Berlin with a force of two million crushed the Reich and ended the conflict.
