Soviet Partisan 1941-44

The exact figure will probably never be known and the full cost to those Partisan units which fought against the Germans cannot even begin to be guessed at.

The role of the Soviet Partisan between 1941 and 1944, when the Germans were finally pushed back, is charted in this work, which reads like an illustrated war diary. The photographs, much of which has never been seen before, show men and women taking on the might of the German army and the consequences for their actions that led to their execution if captured. First-hand accounts make this a vivid read on a little-understood aspect of the war. Weapons, tactics and operations are charted here and the author includes a useful list of museums to visit.
