This book focuses on Von Leeb's Army Group North, tasked with seizing the Baltic States and Leningrad.
Of the German Army Groups that attacked Soviet Russia, Von Leeb's Army Group North was the smallest and weakest. General Kuznetzov's Northwestern Front, however, was in an even weaker state.
Despite brave counterattacks and defense by the Soviet forces, the Germans smashed through the Dvina Line, then the Stalin Line, flooded into Latvia and pressed on to encircle Leningrad.
This book examines the German offensive and also the courageous Soviet attempts to halt the German spearhead, defending every possible line against overwhelming odds.
