Army Group Center: The Wehrmacht in Russia 1941-1945 (Schiffer Military History)

Rating:
Summary: A good look at the Eastern Front
Review: Army Group Center is a useful reference for the force it describes. I must note that due to wide line spacing it contains a bit less content than its 356 page length would indicate. However, it does comprehensively describe the operations of German armies, corps, divisions, and occasionally regiments and lower, throughout the war. Soviet fronts and armies are also covered, but not as thoroughly, and the political/strategic elements that influenced operations are included in a balanced fashion. There are several appendixes (untranslated from the German) which provide useful organizational data, but no index.

Summary: The war in the northern sector of the Russian Front
Review: Over all, this is a good book if one wants to gain an understanding of the movements of the various units of the Wehrmacht in the northern sector of the Russian Front. One thing that is largely lacking from the book--and which happens to be an interest of mine--is the activities that were going on behind the front lines. The book is also without notations and an index, both most useful things for those who want to do some further research into something that is discussed in the book.
