About the Book
Germany's Operation Typhoon, the drive on Moscow, began on September 30, 1941, with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Panzer Armies advancing across a roughly 370-mile front. German forces became bogged down in a grinding battle of attrition during an exceptionally harsh winter, and the offensive stalled before reaching the Soviet capital. Drawing on more than 130 wartime photographs, the book follows the campaign's faltering 1942 restart, the Rzhev-Sychyovka offensive, and the German retreat westward that followed.
