Schmidt served as the chief press spokesman for Joachim von Ribbentrop's Foreign Ministry. In this capacity during WWII, he maintained close ties with the Wehrmacht, while he served in the Allgemeine-SS (General SS). One of his specialties was the "Jewish question". After the war, Carell became a successful author, although some critics have claimed that his books romanticized and whitewashed the Wehrmacht. Paul Karl Schmidt became a member of the Nazi Party in 1931 and a member of the SS in 1938. He graduated from university in 1934, and became an assistant at the Institute of Psychology of the Universität Kiel in Germany. He held several positions in the Nazi Student Association. Schmidt was arrested on 6 May 1945 and interned for 30 months. During the Ministries Trial, part of the Nuremberg Trials, he finally appeared as a witness for the prosecution, and portrayed himself as a fighter for democratic freedom of the press. After World War II, Schmidt became a writer. Aided by the network of 'old comrades' working in the publishing industry, he was able to secure assignments. Starting in the 1950s, he wrote for the popular magazine Kristall. He first used the pseudonym Paul Karell, and later Paul Carell. One of the Most Ingenious Accounts of a Military Campaign Ever Written! Based on personal interviews with actual participants from both sides, and years of exhaustive research in memoirs, diaries, and documents, the author has dramatically reconstructed Hitler's daring and disastrous campaign in Russia. In every moment, it is easy to follow Hitler's and Stalin's policies and disputes, the positions and movements of the great armies, and the major battles. Vivid anecdotes, seldom fund in a history covering a campaign of such magnitude, convey the actual experience of the men who lived and died in this almost limitless holocaust. Derived from a Kirkus review: One of the most ingenious accounts of a military campaign every written. It provides a procession of nail-sharp details, the almost day-by-day chronicle simmering with narrative expanse, dramatic snapshots of the participants, and an assured scholarship. The subject is the ill-fated German invasion of Russia. The author takes some pains to salvage the Panzer Corps reputation, Hitler's tactical nonsense being held responsible for the '42 fiasco: the bypassing of the capital in favor of the Caucasian oil lands, with the resultant Stalingrad debacle. Each maneuver is strikingly delineated, contrasting both fronts and using highly effectively dialogue, switchbacks, close-ups of civilians, eyewitness interjections, high and low life incidents- all work astonishingly well. A strong success. Presumed First Bantam Edition [stated]. Presumed First printing.

Paul Carell (born Paul Karl Schmidt; 2 November 1911, Kelbra - 20 June 1997) was a German propagandist who was the chief press spokesman for Joachim von Ribbentrop's Foreign Ministry during the Nazi era. In this capacity during World War II, he maintained close ties with the Wehrmacht, while he served in the Allgemeine-SS (General SS). One of his specialities was the "Jewish question". After the war, Carell became a successful author, although critics claim that his books romanticized and whitewashed the Wehrmacht. Schmidt was arrested on 6 May 1945 and interned for 30 months. It was left open whether he would appear as one indicted, or as a witness for the prosecution, during the war crimes trials. During the Ministries Trial, he finally appeared as a witness for the prosecution, and portrayed himself as a fighter for freedom of the press. Planned as the second part of a vast war trilogy, this volume presents the German war in Russia from the first dramatic Russian victory at Stalingrad to the total collapse of the German front in the summer of 1944. This edition contains color photos not present in later editions. Beginning with the battle of Kursk in July 1943, Carell traverses the vast expanse of the Russian War, from the siege of Leningrad and the fierce battles of the northern front, to the fourth battle of Kharkov, and the evacuation of the Crimea, a withdrawal forbidden by Hitler. The book ends in June of 1944 when the Soviet Armies reach the East Prussian frontier. Hundreds of photographs, situation and campaign maps, complete index, and comprehensive bibliography, add to this impressive account.
