Battles of Smolensk & Roslavl 1941





This volume by Hans Seidler is brimming with black and white photographs showing soldiers from Heeresgruppe Mitte. The focus is on the Battles of Smolensk and Roslavl, conflicts that readers may not be terribly familiar with. The city of Smolensk commanded the route to the Russian capital of Moscow, and as German forces closed in on it, Russian forces launched a counterattack. This resulted in a large clash in early July 1941.

Rasto,
It depends on the pace of the publisher. I have no right to show images until they are published in a book.

Yeah I knew it is not only upon you to decide when to show them. Anyway, any plans for DAK?
