The best book I've read on the ferocity of the Russians during WWII was: The Eastern Front: Memoirs of a Waffen SS Volunteer, 1941-1945 by Leon Degrelle. This read will give pause to anyone clamoring for war with Russia.

That name kind of rings a bell. Wasn’t he a Frenchman, and a traitor?

My favorite quote came from Berdnt von Kleist, at the beginning of Barbarossa, when it looked like the Nazis would win in a rout:

“The German Army in fighting Russia will be like an elephant attacking an army of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, even millions of ants, but he will in the end be overcome by their numbers and be eaten to the bone.”
