Atlas of Eastern Front Battles

Just picked up this book. I LOVE maps for tracing out the paths of advance for various units during the War, so this was a 'no brainer' for me. What I am impressed about is that he has actual 3-D artwork of various battlefields, including Kursk, Sebastopol, Stalingrad, and my favorite- downtown Berlin! The artwork isn't perfect (most of it is hand-illustrated) but it gives a good impression of what units went where and over what obstacles.

The book is 192 pages, has LOT of pictures, additional information (most of it basic) and such. It was published by the Military Book Club in 2002.

I paid $15 for it from eBay, and I think the investment is well worth it!

Dave,

I have seen this advertised and have thought about buying it. The question I have though is what is it based on. As you know there is a whole lot of crap still being pumped out about the war. Regurgitation of old sources, etc. Since I had never heard of this guy I wondered how up to date the maps were - in terms of research. However, even if they are not the most up to dat the three D views must be worth the $15.

Shawn-

To be honest with you, I never really read enough of the 'pre-Fall' works on the Eastern Front to really have a strong leg to stand on for comparing those written with the new materials from the archives. With that said, the maps I am familiar with 'look' right from my point of view. :) (I don't think Colonel Glantz would have much use for them, but I think they're cool!) ;)

I made a scan of the center-city of Berlin diagram. Like I said in the previous post, it's not completely accurate (definately not to exact scale!) but it does give a good 'overall' picture of what was happening as the units rolled in. (Once again, at least in my opinion...) ;)
