Might make an interesting companion with David Glantz's "Red Storm Over The Balkans: The Failed Soviet Invasion of Romania, Spring 1944" which covers the April-May time period. |

Another book to add to my wishlist :) |

Wasn't the battle of Jassy a smashing German defensive victory that stabilized the Balkan front for months? Is this The Twilight Zone version? |

@Beowulf
The battle in August 44 certainly was not a "smashing German victory". Perhaps you refer to the earlier battles? One major offensive failed in June. |

The first battles for Iasi (Jassy) were in May and covered in Glantz's book. This book covers the operations at the end of August some 3 months later. So, as I said, might be a great companion. |

@ Puster and Marc: yes, you are right. I was not aware the soviets tried their luck in the same place 3 months later. |
