Kurzbeschreibung

Erscheinungstermin: 22. Januar 2008 | Reihe: Campaign (Buch 189)
In late July 1941, Hitler ordered Army Group South to seize the Crimea as part of its operations to secure the Ukraine and the Donets Basin, in order to protect the vital Romanian oil refineries at Ploesti from Soviet air attack. After weeks of heavy fighting, the Germans breached the Soviet defenses and overran most of the Crimea. By November 1941 the only remaining Soviet foothold in the area was the heavily fortified naval base at Sevastopol.

Operation Sturgeon Haul, the final assault on Sevastopol, was one of the very few joint service German operations of World War II, with two German corps and a Romanian corps supported by a huge artillery siege train, the Luftwaffe's crack VIII Flieger Korps and a flotilla of S-Boats provided by the Kriegsmarine. This volume closely examines the impact of logistics, weather and joint operational planning upon the last major German victory in World War II (1939-1945).

Pressestimmen

"Robert Forczyk's Sevastopol 1942: Von Manstein's Triumph is a masterpiece of command strategies and battle tactics and should be center of any World War II library. Joining others in the 'Campaign' series, it surveys the mission of the Army Group South to seize the Crimea to prevent Soviet air attacks on the Polesti oilfields in Romania. Vintage black and white photos help document a moving history." -California Bookwatch (April 2008)

"The content of the book is well-presented, and more importantly, written from in-depth research... [Sevastopol] was one of the greatest sieges of the Eastern Front of the European War, and Sevastopol 1942: Von Manstein's Triumph provides the details a reader will need to learn of this battle." -C. Peter Chen, World War II Database (January 28, 2008)

"Forcyzk skillfully weaves together the story of the German campaign to seize the city, interspersing logistics, operational planning and military movements, leaders, and the terrain and weather into an excellent overview of the Stevastopol campaign...this is perhaps the finest general overview of the Sevastopol campaign on the market." -Scott Mingus, Charge! (January 12, 2008)

"Robert Forczyk covers the preparations, and all the various battles in and around Sevastopol in a manner that is both interesting and easy to read. This is all superbly illustrated by Howard Gerrard and with an excellent choice of maps, diagrams, and period photographs to lead us through what could have been a confusing set of operations. It is an excellent book on a part of WWII that rarely gets any sort of press. One that I know you will enjoy reading as much as I did." -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (January 2008)

Synopsis

In late July 1941, Hitler ordered Army Group South to seize the Crimea as part of its operations to secure the Ukraine and the Donets Basin, in order to protect the vital Romanian oil refineries at Ploesti from Soviet air attack. After weeks of heavy fighting, the Germans breached the Soviet defences and overran most of the Crimea. By November 1941, the only remaining Soviet foothold in the area was the heavily fortified naval base at Sevastopol. Operation Sturgeon Haul, the final assault on Sevastopol, was one of the very few joint service German operations of World War II, with two German corps together with a Romanian corps being supported by a huge artillery siege train, the Luftwaffe's crack VIII Flieger Korps and a flotilla of S-Boats provided by the Kriegsmarine. This volume closely examines the impact of logistics, weather and joint operational planning upon the last major German victory in World War II.

Einleitungssatz
The original Barbarossa plans in 1941 had not even addressed Sevastopol or the Crimea since it was assumed that, once the main Soviet forces were annihilated west of the Dnepr River, peripheral areas such as the Crimea would fall in the subsequent mop-up operations. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

5.0 von 5 Sternen Excellent book on a complex campaign 21. Februar 2008
Von lordhoot - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Robert Forczyk's Sevastopol 1942 followed the typical Osprey Campaign series format. However, I am pretty amazed how much information are packed in this short book. The author managed to write quite a lot and write it with clarity within the limited space afforded to him by Osprey.

The book clearly described the Sevastopol Campaign from late 1941 to summer of 1942 and the author made sure that both sides of the warring parties were well represented in his account. The photographs and maps that come with this book proves to be useful and helpful. I didn't see any major historical inaccuracy and if there was any minor ones, I really couldn't tell anyway. The book covered the entire Crimean campaign within the time frame and clearly highlights General Eric von Manstein's superior generalship as well as desperate Soviet efforts to forestall their defeat.

On the minor downside, I thought the author was bit too harsh on von Manstein's moral behavior and I find it somewhat surprising that he put von Manstein on the same level as Rommel in terms of ability. In my book, von Manstein is ten times the commander that Rommel ever was even if he wasn't a "soldier's general" type. It could be that the author was a victim of Osprey's hype when the backside of the book describe Sevastopol as "last major German victory of World War II". I believe that author knows the gross exaggeration of that note by the publisher.

But overall, this is fantastic book on the subject matter. The author's skill as a writer and as a historian shows when he didn't waste a single sentence writing this book. One of the Osprey's better Campaign series books.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Solid and well-researched 23. Januar 2008
Von Igors Karpovs - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Another Robert Forczyk's title "Sevastopol 1942: Von Manstein's triumph" for Osprey brings a story about siege of one of the most important soviet port towns in Black Sea region. The information is very well balanced and reader-friendly. Day-by-day situation, air and naval battles, order of battle etc. Additional plus goes to author for using soviet sources. It gives the chance to look at the campaign from a position of the Soviet historiography. Although the Soviet military-historical science never differed truthfulness and objectivity of the approach to described events, it did not become a hindrance to the author. The Robert Forczyk has done the scrupulous analysis of the campaign, and, as always, has kept within a Osprey format. The book is also supplemented with Howard Gerrard's paintings. Applauding this way. Both author and artist.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Well Written Operational Account of the Siege 22. April 2008
Von Marco Antonio Abarca - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
The original plans for the Barbarossa Operation did not call for the seizure of the Crimean Peninsula. Things changed quickly when on July 13, six Soviet bombers based in the Crimea attacked the Romanian oil fields in Ploesti. Within a week, 11,000 tons of precious fuel went up in flames. Hitler and the German Army Staff soon viewed the Crimean Peninsula as an aircraft carrier aimed directly at their strategic oil reserve.

Starting at the end of October 1941, Army Group South switched direction and moved south to capture the Crimea by a "coup de main". After a series of daring counter attacks, the Soviets were able to frusturate the German plans. As the winter of 1941-42 set in, both armies prepared for a new campaign in the Crimea and the eventually seige of the Sevastopol naval base. "Sevastopol 1942" is an account of that siege which proved to be the last major German victory in World War II.

With The Osprey Campaign Series, it is usually hit or miss. At their very worst, books in the series end up being poorly written and mind numbing in their fastidious recounting of dull operational details. Fortunately, Robert Forczyk is a strong writer with a good command of the German and Russian language secondary sources. He understands the conventions of the Osprey Campaign Series and gives his readers a clear, concise retelling of one of the great sieges of the Second World War. On a personal note, I appreciate Dr. Forczyk's honest assesment of Van Manstein's character and generalship. Too often in Eastern Front books written for enthusiasts, authors create a portrait of Von Manstein that borders on hero worship.
