Hitler versus Stalin shows the brutality, horror and heroism of war on the Eastern Front as never before. Over 300 rare
photographs, many recently released from the Russian archives and previously unpublished in the West, illustrate every
phase and aspect of the Eastern Front campaigns, from the Nazis' early blitzkrieg successes, the battle for Moscow and
the siege of Leningrad, through the street fighting for Stalingrad, and the Soviet successes at Kursk and Operation
Bagration, to the climactic fall of Berlin and the link-up between Soviet and Western armies amid the ruins of the
"1000-year Reich". This is total war in its most barbaric form: nearly 30 million Soviet soldiers and citizens were
killed during four years of struggle against their German invaders.
