Help needed! Eastern Front in WW2
Hey there everyone,
I am new to the forum as I came across it earlier when browsing for some information. It's a long shot but I'm looking for some help with my A2 History project in which I have assigned myself the question...
"How big of a role did the overstretching of German forces on the Russian Front contribute to Germany’s defeat in World War II?"
So far I have gathered quite a few snippets of information on the subject, however it would be great if anyone could give me some information on it or a link to a website or a good book on the topic which will help me answer my question.
Many thanks,
Jonathan.

Couple of books.
BARBAROSSA THE RUSSIAN-GERMAN CONFLICT 1941-45
By Alan Clark
Still regarded as a good book
THE BATTLE OF KURSK
By David M. Glantz & Jonathan M. House
This one shows the poor German planing and under estimated the Soviet forces.

The German's lost an entire Army encircled at Stalingrad; this swung the balance much more in Russia's favour; at the same time the Allies were winning in North Africa and invading Sicily
