This book is a Russian propaganda. Germans are mere monsters and Russians perfect people that behave accordingly with the communist agenda. There is a funny part where some Russians are getting attack by the German panzers that one of them start praying and he feels ashamed because of it.
This proves the big theory that exist, all ideologies are cool and self sufficient until someone throws some adversity unto you. In this case panzers and explosions, then the communist manifesto is not that important and we throw ourselves to the gods. IT's very funny this part because 230 pages of propaganda and that page alone destroy all the credo.

Unless you want to read some war novel but focus on the how good communists are then go right ahead. Overall it's skippable.
