Barbarossa Through Soviet Eyes

The First Twenty-Four Hours

By: Artem Drabkin,Alexei Isaev,Christopher Summerville

22 June 1941 changed the direction of the Second World War. It also changed the direction of human history. Unleashing a massive, three-pronged assault into Soviet territory, the German army unwittingly created its own nemesis, forging the modern Russian state in the process. Thus, for most Russians, 22 June 1941 was a critical point in their nation's history. After the first day of Barbarossa nothing would be the same again for anyone. Now, for the first time in English, Russians speak of their experiences on that fatal Sunday. Apparently caught off guard by Hitlers initiative, the Soviets struggled to make sense of a disaster that had seemingly struck from nowhere. Here are generals scrambling to mobilize ill-prepared divisions, pilots defying orders not to grapple with the mighty Luftwaffe, bewildered soldiers showing individual acts of blind courage, and civilians dumbstruck by air raid sirens and radio broadcasts telling of German treachery.

Barbarossa & the Retreat to Moscow

Recollections of Soviet Fighter Pilots on the Eastern Front

By: Artem Drabkin

Red Army Air Force pilots share their stories of WWII combat and life on the front lines in this collection of interviews with Russian war veterans. The onset of war in the summer of 1941 was a disaster for the Soviet Air Force. In a matter of weeks, most of the Soviet frontline aircraft were destroyed by the Luftwaffe onslaught, and the casualty rate among the pilots was cripplingly high. Yet the surviving few learned a great deal from their harrowing battle experience. In time, they formed the core of the fighter force that turned the tables on the Germans and eventually won air superiority over the Eastern Front. In Barbarossa and the Retreat to Moscow, Soviet fighter pilots share their recollections of going into battle against the relentless German invaders. Organized chronologically, the interviews in this volume tell the story of devastating defeats in 1941, the difficulties of regrouping and retraining, and the ultimate victory of 1945.

The Red Army at War

By: Artem Drabkin

What was life in the Red Army like for the ordinary soldier during the Great Patriotic War, the fight between the Soviet Union and Germany on the Eastern Front? How far is the common perception of Red Army heroism and sacrifice borne out by historical reality? And what was the daily experience of the individual soldier caught up in this immense and ruthless conflict? The 160 contemporary photographs from the Russian archives that have been selected for this book give a striking insight into all sides of wartime service for the Soviet soldier. The whole range of military experience is portrayed here, from recruitment and the rigors of training to transport, marching and the ordeal of combat.

T-34 In Action

By: Artem Drabkin,Oleg Sheremet

The Soviet T-34 medium tank was one of the most famous and effective fighting vehicles of the Second World War. Along with the German Tiger and the American Sherman, it was a milestone in tank design that changed the course of the conflict. Much has been written about the technical history of the tank and the vital part it played in the huge tank battles on the Eastern Front, but less has been said about the men who went to war in the T-34 and lived, fought and sometimes died in these remarkable machines. This pioneering book, which is based on extensive interviews with tank crews, records their experiences and offers a compelling inside view of armored warfare in the mid-twentieth century.

Panzer Killers

Anti-Tank Warfare on the Eastern Front

By: Artem Drabkin

Red Army anti-tank gunners offer vivid accounts of their World War II combat experiences. From the cold and hunger of the Leningrad front to the clinging mud of the Korsun operation, from the gates of Moscow in 1941 to Vienna and Berlin in 1945, the recollections of these anti-tank gunners cover the vast expanses of the Eastern Front. The vivid personal narratives selected for this book give a fascinating insight into the firsthand experience of anti-tank warfare seventy-five years ago. Their testimony reveals how lethal, rapid, small-scale actions, gun against tank, were fought, and it shows how such isolated actions determined the outcome of the massive offensives and counter-offensives that characterized the struggle on the Eastern Front. They recall the hazards, confusion, and speed of combat, but they also provide details of the day-to-day routines of campaign life as part of a small, tightly knit team of men whose task was to take on the most feared tank armies of the day. Panzer Killers is a valuable addition to this series of graphic eyewitness accounts of every aspect of the Red Army’s war on the Eastern Front published by Pen & Sword. It records the contribution of one of the neglected branches of the Soviet armed forces—the anti-tank men who played a vital role in the complex military machine that stemmed the Germans’ advance, then forced them back to Berlin.

Aerospace Radionavigation Systems

Electromagnetic Compatibility

By: Dmitry Alexandrovich Zatuchny,Grigory Grigoryevich Negreskul,Oleg Ivanovich Sauta,Artem Yuryevich Shatrakov,Yuri Grigoryevich Shatrakov

This book presents concepts for radio engineers to ensure electromagnetic compatibility based on the methodological approaches to reduce the probability of failures of radio equipment and improve the flight safety of complex aerospace systems. The book deals with issues related to methods for assessing the electromagnetic compatibility of integrated ground and on-board complexes, methods for obtaining information about unintentional interference, the theory of predicting unintentional interference, experimental studies of the characteristics that determine electromagnetic compatibility, methods for calculating reference systems, the influence of the method of generating the output signals of the transmitting path on the relative level of spurious radiation, electromagnetic compatibility of ultrahigh-frequency devices with phase modulation, with the features of industrial noise, with the calculation of electromagnetic fields scattered elements of the airframe, with direction finding errors caused by the scattering of electromagnetic fields by elements of the airframe, with the evaluation of isolation between antennas in the presence of an electromagnetic screen, solving problems of electromagnetic compatibility of antenna devices with the model electromagnetic interference radio systems, calculation of electromagnetic compatibility of specific navigation systems, with the provision of electromagnetic compatibility in civil aviation, taking into account modern requirements.

Red Army Infantrymen Remember the Great Patriotic War

A Collection of Interviews with 16 Soviet Ww-2 Veterans

By: Artem Drabkin,Artem Drabkin and Isaak Kobylyanskiy Edited By Todd Marvin,Isaak Kobylyanskiy,Todd Marvin

Sixteen narratives lie before you. Sixteen former Soviet infantrymen related their combat experiences on the Eastern Front of WW-2, where they fought against Germany in 1941-1945. These sixteen are as different from each other, and as unlike in their personal combat experiences as they are diverse in their personalities, ages, ethnic origins, religious and political beliefs. Since the middle of 1990s the ranks of WW-2 veterans began to thin quite quickly. At that time, some of descendants of the Soviet veterans began recording their parents' and grandparents' recollections of the war. Moreover, some enthusiasts started to conduct and record interviews with the veterans. As a rule, interviewees were asked not only about their combat experience, but also about the many details of frontline routines as well as of prewar and postwar life in the USSR. This book is based on interviews with former Red Army infantrymen that were borrowed from the I REMEMBER site (www.iremember.ru), one of the most popular Russian web sites devoted to the WW-2. Actually, the book concerns not just bloody fights. You will also read about soldiers suffering from cold and heat as well as from malnutrition, sleepless nights, lice and the exhausting, extra-long, marches. These recollections also contain many details of frontline interrelations including how the military political workers and counterespionage officers acted, as well as how injured soldiers were treated in hospitals and much more. Definitely, this book would help the Western readers to imagine what the Great Patriotic War actually was to a common Red Army soldier. The collection of interviews are provided with a Russian-English Glossary of WW-2 Soviet Soldiers' Slang and Special Terms. The Glossary would be a good aid for scholars, translators and linguists, who work on Russian original sources.
