Re: Recommended reading on the Soviet forces
This thread is to for readers exchanging opinions on existing book on the subject, not for authors advertising their books which were just published, especially when these books are of autobiographical character. So I recommend to place an announcement in the Reference Material section of the forum.

Re: Recommended reading on the Soviet forces
A long time ago some someone recommended this book, "Eugene Drig's 'Mechanized corps Red Army in Action'. 830 pages of statistics and descriptions of fights."
It is a fantastic book, still available by the way, but it lacks an index making it very hard to use
After purchasing a number of Russian books, I enjoyed this series of books by Ilya Moschansky, http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/4881982/. Another really nice book, is this one on Armored Trains http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/5086184/ the second part has just come out http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/5430549/.
Wonder if someone can tell men something about,
Великая Отечественная Война. 1941-1945. Словарь-справочник
do know what I should make of it.

Rostislav Aliev book. Storm Brest (Brest-Litowsk) Zittadel (june 1941). Probably best published on this theme in Russia and in the West. Author used thousand documents from NARA and BA-MA. The book reflects a sight of German commanders at a course of storm of a fortress.

Brest Zittadel. One more fine book Rostislav Aliev. The author has translated hundreds German documents on storm of Brest into Russian. It also does careful opinion that German losses were more than is recognized officially.
