Mr. Newton's compilation translation of Ost Front tactics was quite good. Descriptions of tactics in a wide varity of situations and locations , both on offense and increasingly on defense, are included. These are not broad, sweeping action reports,but rather on the divisional level and below by largely unsung "heroes" of the eventually defeated forces of the Wehrmacht. The resourcefulness and determination of these leaders gives a birds' eye view as to why Germany nearly won the war with Russia and, perhaps more importantly, why it took Russia over two years after Stalingrad to defeat them. Along with General Raus' narrative recently published, one can now grasp the desperate but brilliantly organized actions prosecuted by the Wehrmacht on the Ost Front.
