You guys have any sources, or recommend some good books on the East front. Just wondering, if anyone here which has considerable knowledge could elaborate a bit on the tactics the Soviet Union used against German artillery, and how effective they were?
It was just amazing, at the battle of Stalingrad, the Soviet Union asked for the surrender of Field Marshal General Paulus, that Hitler rejected, open up with five thousand artillery guns and reduced the German pocket to 15 miles long and 9 miles deep. Hitler remarked to Jodl, "There is no record in military history of a German Field Marshal being taken prisoner". Currently reading William L Shirer's book "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich"
Just amazing how many artillery pieces, the Russia were to bring, even still after the long prolong fighting.
Also how effective could of Dora really have been, or just merely a psychological weapon the Germans built?
What kind of blast radius would those shells have?
