The Battle for Moscow ReviewI really enjoyed this book but its a book that you either love or hate. Its written from a German perspective and it might be considered dry for it doesn't contain individual bravery or experiences. Paradoxically I learned more about the plight of a German soldier's struggle in battle or advancing to battle than in other books. The author mentions many times how the freezing weather or heavy rains destroy roads and what it took to navigate them, how the Germans lost a lot of equipment not through battle but from the weather. I learned that the German army, only a few months into the war, was already having resupply problems that delayed their progress. Or that they didn't have the proper clothing or equipment to fight in -30 temperatures. There are more things that are brought out that if you have never been in war you wouldn't think about.
The main theme of the book is about troop movements, engagements and captured cities etc but the author also talks about the German generals and especially Hitler. His comments of these leaders are poignant and ring true. I didn't realize Hitler micro managed to an unbelievable degree that made it impossible to command your army. There is info on Bock, Guderian, Hoth, Kluge, and others you will find interesting.
The author closes with his assessment of the German Army and why they lost the battle.
There are only a couple maps and they're modest but are of some value.
If you have any interest in Operation Barbarossa or Typhoon, this book is worth reading. The book is NOT obsolete and you will learn a lot of interesting things about the war and the people in it.The Battle for Moscow OverviewThe course of human civilization has turned on the outcome of a select few climactic battles throughout history, but never more so than when Stalin's enigmatic Soviet Union desperately rallied its resources to stave off Hitler's armies in the Battle for Moscow. From the drama in the command posts to the plight of the infantry and armor in the mud and snow, Seaton illuminates the titanic strugglethat was the pivotal battle of WWII.
