November 1942, Russia: As the German Sixth Army discovers just how vicious the fighting in Stalingrad can become, the Germans take troops from their flanks in final attempts to take the city before the onset of 'another bitter Russian winter.' To the south of Stalingrad, on a thinly held front line stretching hundreds of miles, small groups of German troops are dispersed across positions held by their allies of the Fourth Romanian Army. The Russian high command, STAVKA, are planning an opportunity to turn the tide of the war in the southern sector of the front as they see the weaker German allies occupy defensive positions either side of the city. Not everything is as it seems in the deepest cold of winter as a small group of men combat nature and a vicious and cunning enemy motivated by revenge to survive and escape. A realistic account of experiencing the extremes of human camaraderie and desperation facing the human spirit in one of histories most violent and desperate struggles, the Russian Front on the Volga during World War 2. With temperatures dropping to minus 25 to 40 degrees Celsius and a vicious struggle for survival against both nature and the cruelties of war, the portrayal of individual human reaction to fate and historical events is a gripping insight into the soldier on the frontline, thousands of miles from the decisions that will forge their individual destinies. The story weaves a path through the days of war on the Volga seen from the eyes of the individuals that fought it. Having spent nearly thirty years researching World War 2, with particular emphasis on the eastern front, weaponry, tactics and strategy, this is the first submission from the author covering one of the most brutal and vicious campaigns history has ever experienced. All three of the Author's books based in Stalingrad have become best sellers on Amazon Kindle and many more stories with the characters are outlined. All units and actions are in accordance with historical research and with the ultimate aim of complete accuracy to events and possible individual actions. The writer aims to provide a thoroughly enjoyable and imaginative reading experience at an affordable price for the reader. Imagination is personal, free and to be cherished.
