Jay A. Stout

Fortress Ploesti

The Campaign to Destroy Hitler's Oil

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Unlike previous books on Ploesti, Jay Stout goes well beyond the famous big and bloody raid of August 1943 and depicts the entire 1944 strategic campaign of twenty-plus missions that all but knocked Ploesti out of the war and denied the German war machine the fuel and lubricants it so desperately needed.
