The author describes the dramatic fighting that began in the summer of 1942 when the German Wehrmacht began its advance on the southern section of the Eastern Front. The author describes the capture of the fortress of Sevastopol, the battle for the mountain passes of the Caucasus, the tank operations in the run-up to Stalingrad, the push into the city, and the costly battles for factories, streets, and blocks of houses. Meanwhile, the Red Army launched a counterattack, broke through the flanks occupied by allied troops, and encircled the German 6th Army in Stalingrad.
