Oborona Kryma 1941 g. Proryv Manshteina - Nemenko Aleksandr

"To take possession of Crimea!" - Hitler ordered a month after the beginning of the war. "There will be no order to retreat!" declared the Soviet command. What was the balance of power in Crimea in the autumn of 1941? How did Manstein manage to break through our defense snare on the "invulnerable" Perekopsky isthmus? Why failed all attempts to counterattack, which did not stop the enemy, but only accelerated the defeat of the 51st and Seaside armies? "Involuntarily the question arises: what is the reason for such a cruel defeat?" and what is behind the series of tragic "strangeness" and "coincidences" that made the Germans aware of our plans in advance? Comparing Soviet and German operational documents, this book answers all these questions. This is the best study of the defense of Crimea in 1941. This is the most complete and detailed chronicle of the "Crimean meat grinder" based not on propaganda myths, but on the authentic documents of Russian and German archives.
