Soviet WW2 Order of Battle, titled Active Army, Great
Patriotic Nikiforov, Fesenko, Andronnikov et al. C.
2005, Moscow. Russian text, hard cover, 663 pp., format 9½"
x 6¾" x 1½". Part of the 4-volume "Great Patriotic" series.
An extraordinary reference on Soviet Army and Navy order of
battle, the most comprehensive yet published on larger
units. Includes history of all WW2 Soviet Fronts (Army
Groups), Antiaircraft Fronts, Naval Fleets and Flotillas,
Armies, Tank Armies and Air Armies. A large part of the book
is dedicated to extensive biographies of all commanders of
the Fronts, Fleets and Military Districts. No illustrations.
The title "Active Army, Great Patriotic" actually refers to
"Front Line Troops"; the scope of the book is much broader
than the title would suggest, as it also covers the Navy
Fleets and Air Forces. Likewise, the timeframe goes beyond
the conflict with Germany: a separate chapter is dedicated
to all the large formations which took part in the August
1945 campaign against Japan.
In the addendum, there is a convenient table of chronology
of the Fronts, showing all transitions and name changes.
There is also a list of every unit from Army through Corps
and further, down to Division level with precise dates of
frontline deployment. Among additional features are tables
of numerical and material strength of each front at various
points in all major battles, Soviet vs German strength
comparison tables, and much more.
All-in-all, this book is a fascinating reference, a true
must for a serious WW2 history researcher or military
history buff.
