Book Overview: 1944 was a year of trial for the German Army. While the Allies were preparing to invade the Third Reich from the west, Stalin was set on a massive offensive to liberate the last remaining areas of Soviet territory held by the Germans. Hitler was determined to hold fast - muddled strategic thinking nullified the undoubted operational ability of his generals. This book is a succinct analysis of the Soviet campaign to recapture Byelorussia, the German attempts to counter it, and the final, terrible collapse of Army Group Centre, inflicting greater losses on the Germans even than their earlier defeat at Stalingrad. It was a catastrophe of unbelievable proportion: 350,000 men were lost, and Hitler's war effort doomed and broken.
