To the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory! A radical rethinking of the catastrophe of 1941. A new look at the Battle of the Border, which became the prologue of the worst defeat in Soviet history. Convincing answers to the most acute, controversial and painful questions:
On whose side was the quantitative and qualitative superiority in June 41? Why did the Luftwaffe manage to seize air supremacy so quickly? Who was to blame for the tragedy of the Western Front? Why the large masses of tanks of the Kiev Special Military District could not stop the German tank wedges in the area of Brody - Dubno? What exactly was the main factor in the defeat of the Red Army - loss of communication, insufficient training of troops or fatal errors of the command? And was it possible to avoid the catastrophe in this situation at all? The treachery of German saboteurs and crushing attacks of KV giants near Raseiniai, fierce struggle for crossings and sowing death by waves of bombers, stubborn defense and desperate counterattacks, stunning defeats and tactical victories of the Red Army - the book by a leading military historian restores a complete picture of the June 1941 tragedy, relying on recently declassified materials of domestic archives and German operational documents, most of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
