Arctic Front: The Advance of Mountain Corps Norway on Murmansk, 1941

This is a serious, thoughtful book about war on the right wing of the Western Front and the left wing of the Eastern Front in conditions hardly conducive to survival, let alone combat. Definitely recommended. -- Stone & StoneIn 1941, military operations were conducted by large formations along the northern coast of Scandinavia - for the first time in history of warfare. A modern army suddenly swept into that isolated and inhospitable region that was yet to possess the level of importance it would later assume in Cold War polar strategy. The Arctic Front was the northernmost theater in the war waged by Germany against Russia. For a period of four years, German troops from all branches of the Wehrmacht fought side by side with Finnish border guard units.
