For a good overview of the War in the Soviet Union see Richard Overy's Russia's War!.

For one of the best books on one of the battles, see Stalingrad by Anthony Beevor!.
For a brilliant account of the seige of Leningrad see The 900 Days by Harrison E!. Salisbury

For a very detailed (and a bit dull) look at the overall war in the east see Aan Clark's Barbarossa, The Russo-German Conflict 1941-45

I didn't look too much, but it looks like there are quite a few here!. You might also try the public library!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have learned so much more by playing the first person shooter 'RED ORCHESTRA!. The weapons are visually authentic and the physics are accurate!. Give it a try!. (Online game, Steam)Www@QuestionHome@Com
