The Crimea was one of the crucibles of the war on the Eastern Front, where first a Soviet and then a German army were surrounded, fought desperate battles, and were eventually destroyed. The fighting in the region was unusual for the Eastern Front in many ways, in that naval supply, amphibious landings, and naval evacuation played major roles, while both sides were also conducting ethnic cleansing as part of their strategy - the Germans eliminating the Jews and the Soviets purging the region of Tartars.

Not for a casual listener, but has a lot of info

Personally I thought the narrator did a good job. This is not a casual book, you definitely need some background knowledge or some geography to keep things straight, otherwise it's probably going to be just a lot of names and troop numbers. I learned a lot overall and was glad that there was some pre and post WW2 history as well.

This is the riveting and extraordinary story of Kapitan Herbert Cleff, presented here for the first time by Brian Brinkworth. Cleff, an officer on the staff of General Wilhelm Ritter von Thoma, attached to the 21st Panzer division operating in the Western desert, was captured near El Dab'a in Libya on the sixth of November, 1942. He was interrogated both in the Western Desert and in the United Kingdom, following assessments that led his British captors to believe that he might prove useful to the Allied war effort. During this interrogation period, Cleff kept releasing tantalizing snippets.

Not a casual listen

I listened to this with Audible Plus so I didnt pay for it. I only got through the first couple chapters. Not a casual listen, there's a lot of technical information and references to figures which can't be shown. So far more about his technical work/engineering plans than about his life. I don't want to say it's bad because I think it could be interesting, just not really as an audiobook. I think the narrorator's good, again, just hard to make technical details interesting.
