Christer Bergstrom who wrote the excellent Ardennes book has a new book, "Operation Barbarossa 1941" coming out later this year.

Bummer. I'll have to pick a new sub-title for my own Barbarossa book now.

Bergstrom is also working on similar volumes on Stalingrad and Market Garden.

I have it in my wish list Krichter. The one I can't wait to get is Dubno 1941: The Greatest Tank Battle of the Second World War
by Aleksei Isaev. Although that won't come out until December this year. Richard I'd love to know what you have planned for your Barbarossa book since I'm Also working on my own Barbarossa project! =) If you're interested that is.

I also vote for Dubno 1941 but there are a number of other interesting volumes coming out this year.

I am also interest in what other Barbarossa projects are in the workings. Kind of suck if everyone is researching the same thing. If you are researching the A.O.K. 11, June to October 1941, then I would be very interested in what you are writing about.

Well I'm not sure what everyone else's research looks like. What do you need for AOK 11? I'm always looking for new information as well.

I should be asking you, "What do you need for AOK 11". I was the one that purchase most of the AOK 11 records you see floating about the internet.

My post was unclear, I am trying to write a book (have never done it before and it is a lot harder than I thought) about the operations of the XXX AK between June 22 and 18 August 1941. The point being, how did a small portion of Barbarossa look like based (almost) exclusively on the original records. Hopefully (if I don't give up) the book will be done by the end of next year.

Wow that's a great project! I'd be willing to buy that once you're done too! I'm sending you a PM.

It's the first fortnight of the invasion, so a very small part of the campaign, but in great detail. The emphasis is on the human element rather than the movement of armies.
