Knights of the Skull

Witches Caldron is the incredible true story of the World War II Battle of Cherkassy where the last German offensive on the Eastern Front was blunted. Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union would ultimately prove to be a disaster for the Nazi's. This is the saga of the German soldiers who became encircled by the Soviets and their struggle for survival against over-whelming odds. Although the war played out on a world stage, the massive deaths of the war primarily took place on the Eastern Front as Germany pushed into the Soviet Union only to be stopped and then crumble under the weight of Stalin's troops. The Battle of Cherkassy was perhaps one of the most brutal battles ever experienced in warfare. Written and illustrated by noted historian artist, Wayne Vansant.
