AT least the fictional Cross of Iron is used only for the title. Imagine if they used the book as a source for information? After all, war fiction (especially WWII fiction) gives you the "true feel" for combat in a way that histories supposedly don't. And yes, for purposes of full disclosure, I've had term papers handed in in my course on military history that use novels and even movies (Saving Private Ryan, for example) as "factual sources." Remember, we live in a media age!

Robert Forczyk's Where the Iron Crosses Grow is out this month. It's his debut General Military title for Osprey, and what a work it is!

The history of the Crimea is fascinating and tragic, and Robert's work focuses on the cataclysmic struggle for the region in 1941-45 between Hitler's Wehrmacht and Stalin's Red Army.

To whet your appetite for this excellent study, we've made one of the many gripping chapters available as a free PDF download!

Click here to download chapter 3: Across the Tartar Wall, September 1941.
