Reviews
This volume is much more than a mere history of the Barbarossa operation, and among other perspectives includes a detailed account of NKVD operations during the battle, a never-before published diary account of a German soldier fighting on the Eastern front, how the German invasion has been portrayed post war literature, and a thorough examination of Suvarov's thesis regarding Stalin's alleged plan to attack Nazi Germany. All in all, these many angles give the reader a much fuller understanding of this momentous battle. --Russian Review Ellis's Barbarossa 1941 addresses and answers many vital questions associated with Operation Barbarossa. Skillfully researched and well written, it is a 'must buy' for those interested in the Soviet-German War specifically, and World War II and military history in general. --David Glantz, author of Endgame at Stalingrad As he did in Stalingrad Cauldron, Ellis uncovers a mass of fresh new material here: recently declassified Russian documentation; literary works; and best of all, the diary of a Gefreiter from the 20th Panzer Division, an invaluable account of the first eight months of the German invasion. --Robert M. Citino, author of The Wehrmacht Retreats: Fighting a Lost War, 1943
