Why read it?
1 author picked The Eastern Front, 1941-45, German Troops and the Barbarisation of Warfare as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I include this remarkable book because Bartov does for German criminality what Glantz does for operations: corrects decades of misconceptions. He was at the forefront of the post-Cold War movement to undo the “clean Wehrmacht” vs. “dirty Nazis/SS” bias that dominated the first 40 years of post-WWII history.
He makes clear that the German military was political and politicized and that Nazi ideology went deep into the ranks and was a key factor in keeping Germans, as a nation and as a platoon or regiment, fighting against hopeless odds.
From Robert's list on WWII theater: the Nazi-Soviet War.
