Korsun Pocket Casemate

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

During the second half of 1943, after the failure at Kursk, Germany's Army Group South fell back from Russia under repeated hammer blows from the Red Army. Under Erich von Manstein, however, the Germans were able to avoid serious defeats, while at the same time fending off Hitler's insane orders to hold on to useless territory.Then, in January 1944, a disaster happened. Six divisions of Army Group South became surrounded after sudden attacks by the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts under command of generals Nikolai Vatutin and Ivan Konev around the village of Korsun (near the larger town of Cherkassy on the Dnieper). The Germans' greatest fear was the prospect of another Stalingrad, the catastrophe that had occurred precisely one year before.This time, though, Manstein was in control from the start, and he immediately rearranged his Army Group to rescue his trapped divisions. A major panzer drive got underway, led by General der Panzertruppen Hans Hube, a survivor from Stalingrad pocket, which promptly ran up against several soviet tank armies. Leading the break-in was Franz Baeke with his Tiger and Panther-tanks. Due to both weather and ferocious resistance, the German drive stalled. Ju-52s still flew into Korsun's airfield, delivering supplies and taking out wounded, but it soon became apparent that only one option remained for the beleaguered defenders: breakout.Without consulting Hitler, on the night of February 16 Manstein ordered the breakout to begin. Led by the strongest formation within the pocket, SS Wiking, the trapped forces surged out and soon rejoined the surrounding panzer divisions who had been fully engaged in weakening the ring.When dawn broke, the Soviets realized their prey was escaping. Although the Germans within the pocket lost nearly all of their heavy weapons and left many wounded behind, their escape was effected. Stalin, having anticipated another Stalingrad, was left with little but an empty bag, as Army Group South-this time-had pulled off a rescue. In The Korsun Pocket, Niklas Zetterling, a researcher at the Swedish Defense College since 1995 and Anders Frankson, have provided a highly detailed and often breathtaking account of one of the most dramatic battles of World War II. From grand strategy to soldiers' voices on the ground, including expert statistical analysis, the action, and the stakes, of the battle at Korsun are made vividly clear. returncharacterreturncharacter returncharacterreturncharacter REVIEWS returncharacterreturncharacter..".compelling prose, abundant tactical detail, lots of maps, a clear narrative of events and running analysis of the battle as it unfolds.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Winner, 2010 EPIC Ebook Award for fiction in the Mainstream category."Breathtakingly gorgeous writing ... a multi-layered tale of such depth, breadth and insight that it was very nearly a spiritual experience..."--from a review by T. T. Thomas on Amazon.com"...reminds me of Le Guin, of Cecelia Holland, and something of Rosemary Sutcliff... It made me feel as I did when I was a child reading authors like those... Once again I was in a magical place..."--from a review by Charles Ferguson on Amazon.com"...there's no ring of power or glowing sword of specialness; the magic, like the tone of the book, is quiet. It feels real."--from a blog review on livejournalWhen she was a child, the author of When Women Were Warriors happily identified with all the male heroes she read about in stories that began, "Once upon a time, a young man went out to seek his fortune." But she would have been delighted to discover even one story like that with a female protagonist. Since she never did find the story she was looking for all those years ago, she decided to write it.In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras arrives in Merin's house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin's house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras."...Both men and women of all persuasions seem to love these books... Very rare. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!"--from a review by T. T. Thomas on Amazon.com"Think Beowulf--only comprehensible and with girls."--from a review on the blog, The Rainbow Reader, by Baxter Clare Trautman, author of The River Within

Pobladła. Jej przyjaciele wyciągnęli z kieszeni swoje Taldomy. Nina rzuciła paczkę na ziemię, rozrzucając na dywanie słomę i skrawki papieru. Chwytając lustro prawą dłonią, zorientowała się, że gwiazda nie jest już różowa, ale... czarna! Lustro zapłonęło i pofrunęło na środek pokoju w ognistym wirze. Pojawił się w nim obraz dwóch zakapturzonych sylwetek. Twarze ledwie dało się dostrzec - jeden z mężczyzn był stary, a drugi młody i szczupły. Nazwa - Nina i Złota Liczba. Tom 5.

The novel, which has been described as a "masterpiece" by The Guardian, was written in 1948 (which is how the title came about: the reversal of the final two digits) and, after it was published the following year, went on not only to become a major success, but also to have a significant influence on the English language. George Orwell was a British writer who was born in British India in 1903. A strong critic of totalitarianism, he has written a number of books denouncing dictatorships, such as that of Stalin in the 20th century. Find out everything you need to know about 1984 in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:
