The fighting between the German and Russian armies in the Rzhev Salient was so grisly, so murderous, and saw such vast losses that the troops called the campaign The Meat Grinder. Though millions of men would fight and die there, the Rzhev Salient does not have the name recognition of Leningrad or Moscow. It was simply a vast tract of forests and swamps in the heart of Mother Russia that has been largely ignored by Western historians...until now. We will look at the campaign and especially the leadership of General (later Marshal) Georgy Zhukov. Our guest is historian Prit Buttar, who has written numerous excellent books on the Eastern Front and we are delighted he is returning to WW2TV for our third Eastern Front week. His latest book: Meat Grinder: The Battles for the Rzhev Salient, 1942-43 covers the campaign featured in today's show: UK https://uk.bookshop.org/a/5843/978147...
