Kursk the Worlds Greatest Tank Battle

Más información sobre el libro

"Considered by both the Germans and the Soviets to be a highly umpromising place to fight a battle. Kursk would prove to be the undoing of the Nazis' Eastern campaign. Beginning with the strategic situation in 1943, this compelling tale recounts the circumstances of this decisive battle that was a key turning point in the Second World War. Recalling the various stages of fighting, the early tactical advantage of the Germans, and the subsequent Soviet victory, Kursk is a fascinating account of a major campaign that involved more than 3 million men, 8,000 tanks, 40,000 guns and 5,500 aircraft."--Book flap.
