Hitler and Moscow 1941 / Taylor, John   Journal Article
Taylor, John Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The fate of Moscow is considered to be one of the major factors determining the outcome of Operation Barbarossa in 1941. Historians have, for a long time, tended to focus on the battles, which took place for the city during this period. The role of the Soviet capital in terms of its importance to Hitler's overall strategy is, however, less well known. The article explores this aspect of the Soviet-German war, which has been largely neglected in postwar literature. It demonstrates that Hitler never regarded Moscow as a priority, nor did he intend to occupy the city.

Russia will assuredly be defeated: Anglo-American government assessments of Soviet war potential before operation Barbarossa / Kahn, Martin   Journal Article
Kahn, Martin Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract An understanding of why almost all Anglo-American Government officials believed in a Soviet defeat as a result of a German attack can be reached by analyzing US and British Government sources (State Department, Foreign Office, Military, and other) from 1939-41. The sources reveal much detail about the perceived weakness of Soviet war potential, and in what specific respects the Anglo-Americans underestimated Soviet strength. The assessments were in most cases far from reality and as much about economic shortcomings as about military weakness.
