: I'm about half way through the book and
: enjoying it immensely. Having
: experienced the previous volume, I now
: keep a magnifier handy to examine the
: maps and aerial photos.

: I was intrigued by the suggestion that
: the 24th Panzer Division might have
: taken the grain elevator before it was
: occupied by the Soviets. On a whim I
: went to Bing and got a satellite view
: of the grain elevator. I noted the
: tall rectangular tower at the
: southwestern end and the shorter
: adjacent section which appears to
: consist of multiple silos. I was
: surprised to see a second silo section
: just northeast of the first. Since it
: seems to be missing from 1942 photos
: I've seen (including the aerial photo
: on p. 157 of Glantz's book), I assume
: the second section was added after the
: battle.
:
: I'm definitely looking forward to the
: last volume in this series.
