Human life to absorb and use up the enemies ammunition.Also interesting was how Ukranian peasents helped the italians build a underground/bunker type church just so they could attend mass. Some interesting parts ae when a german armour attack to breakthrough soviet ranks consits of a huge Panther Tank ,several small French Hotchkiss tanks and "Battaglione M "italian assault troops they were able to knock out and force to withdraw a force of over 15 T34/76 med tanks. This book is a first hand eyewitness account of a front of the war that is very often generalized and not well documented by historians.It is among my favorite titles. oronzo
