Western Allies and Soviet Potential in World War II

Taylor & Francis

World War II was the largest and most devastating war in modern history with far-reaching consequences. The single most important campaign was the Soviet\u2013German war, which consumed the lion share of Germany\u2019s military resources. In contrast to the tone in German and Anglo-American precampaign assessments, the USSR ws able to repulse the invasion after huge losses and turn the table on Germany and her minor Axis allies.
