Joseph Goebbels seems somehow to be writing books from hell! Never have I read such an eloquent exposition of the sufferings of those poor, poor Naz...oh- I mean Germans at the hands of those mean, mean commies. After their benevolent invasion and occupation of the USSR the Germans definitely deserved better! That poor misundertood pacifist Hitler was outfoxed by that mean ol' Uncle Joe! Barbarossa was just a "pre-emptive" perfectly reasonable police action! Communism IS worse than Nazism! I get it! Sieg Hei...oh- I mean Deutschland uber alles!

While not forgiving the horrible crimes committed by certain criminals in the German Armed forces this book tells the true story of our "Beloved" ally Joseph Stalin. Stalin was a monster just waiting to pounce on all of Europe like he did to Finland except Hitler beat him to the punch and probably saved Europe.(Just look at what the Communist did to all of their other conquest!) The attrocities that the Communist regime perpetrated against the Armed forces of Germany and innocent civilians are a chapter of history that the victors convieniently choose not to remember. Anybody that truly has an open mind will see why we had to spend billions of dollars defending against these criminals in the 50+ years after the end of the war.

This book is a great read. It removes once and for all any hint of legitimacy left from the Soviet propaganda of the period. Those who view Stalin`s regime as liberators will be forced to re-examine their myopic views when faced by the barbaric atrocities committed by the Soviets against the German people and even against their own Russian soldiers if they showed any restraint. Lays to rest once and for all the distorted, one sided view of war on the Eastern Front. A well documented and scholarly work-
