Franz W. Seidler is a Professor of Modern History at the University of the Bundeswehr, Munich. Dr. Seidler's principal field of research is World War II. This book is intended to provide a picture of the dangers posed to every German soldier by the Red Army's conduct of partisan warfare in violation of international law. The book provides full documentation of over 300 Soviet war crimes committed in 1941-1942, accompanied by exact descriptions, many of them proven in detail by eyewitness statements and horrifying photographic evidence. Even Goebbels' propaganda ministry was compelled to keep silent about these atrocities for fear of their possible effects on the morale of the domestic front. Only now is the full truth of the matter revealed. The photographs - more than 100 of them - are enough to make the reader's blood run cold. The book is a shocking indictment of an army which committed truly shocking, and unpunished, war crimes - Stalin's Red Army.
