The Defense of Moscow, 1941: The Northern Flank by Jack Radey and Charles Sharp
Nazi Germany's best chance of winning World War II on the Eastern Front came in October 1941. Most of the Red Army's forces around Moscow had been smashed or encircled, and no reserves were available for the capital's defense. All that stood in Germany's way was a handful of Soviet rifle divisions, tank brigades, and militia. When their attack ground to a halt, the Germans blamed the mud, but close examination reveals that it was the scraped together and poorly coordinated resistance of the Red Army that stopped the Germans. Jack Radey and Charles Sharp tell this dramatic story in their study of a pivotal battle in the struggle for supremacy in the East.
