Ostfront 1944: The German Defensive Bat-
tles on the Russian Front 1944 Alex Buchner.
In 1944, when the entire Russo-German front was
“ablaze” under continual Soviet attacks, wrong
estimations by the highest German command led
to critical decisions with grave consequences. The
Red Army was growing increasingly stronger, and
launched a major offensive. This in-depth study
uses presently available sources and the reports
of still-living participants, to document the events
on the Eastern Front of 1944.
