The Russians were advancing on all fronts ... Millions of German soldiers did not understand that those ragged and dirty Russian soldiers, who had pushed the vicinity of Moscow, to the other side of the Volga and to the oil regions of Baku; those men who fled or fell prisoners by the millions, in a concept of mass that no European could conceive, were now launching themselves on the German troops and those of their allies, with an unprecedented power. The world shook to the beat of the fighting on the Eastern front. Millions of beings were there engaged in the most colossal battle in history. German soldiers, hungry, poorly dressed, exposed to freezing, malnourished and low on ammunition, clung to the ground in the hope of preventing the enemy from setting foot on Germany. The Eastern Front is a story belonging to the World War II collection, a series of war novels developed in World War II.
