Don't overlook some of the old wargaming magazines like Strategy & Tactics, Moves, Fire & Movement, and others. Lots of great articles on WWII - Eastern Front in those mags. Generally very concise information presentation by some pretty good gamers and military historians.
You can find these for sale on E-bay and other sites.
Oh, and I don't know how easy these are to come by, but years ago there was a 96 issue magazine that was sold on the newstands entitled: "History of the Second World War"
It was edited by Sir Basil Liddell Hart (one of the great military historians and strategists) and published by Marshall Cavendish, USA Ltd 1973
I've got the entire set and wouldn't part with them for anything. Great detail, fantastic photos and drawings, and fully indexed. Lots of coverage of the Russian Front included. I've got Part 32 sitting in front of me right now with articles on the First Burma Campaign, Air War in the Far East, and Battle of the Coral Sea. each issue runs about 30 pages, but with very small type so the amount of information in an issue is huge. Each article is written by different historians.
Just think... this was actually sold in grocery store newstands in 1973... imagine trying to do that today with our current illiterate masses of consumers! Still, this would be a fantastic resource to be republished or even combined into a hard bound six volume set.
