Among the first divisions established by the Wehrmacht, the 6th Infantry Division had one of the longest and bloodiest records of continuous combat of any division--Allied or Axis. Engaging in combat within weeks of the outbreak of WWII, the division fought to the last hour of the war. Based primarily on German sources, in particular the rare divisional and regimental histories and war diaries, and on personal accounts and letters of its soldiers, Soldiers to the Last Day presents the German view of the war from inside divisional headquarters and down to the individual Landser as the division marches across France in 1940, advances to the Volga during Operation Barbarossa, fights the brutal battles of Rzhev, Kursk, Babruysk; and makes last desperate attempts to defend the homeland in 1945. It is a tale of courage, determination, suffering, and in the end--betrayal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Denis Havel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781557446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781557440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fonthill Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Denis Havel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790373286143,"sku":"9781781557440","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d73500f-ff0b-4465-9986-af486d60feb2.jpg?v=1707288749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soldiers-to-the-last-day-denis-havel-9781781557440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
