Manufacturer

In the summer of 1943, Hitler had his sights set on a decisive blow that he believed would turn the tide on the Eastern Front. This blow was to be struck at Kursk the site of a huge Soviet salient stretching some 190 kilometres wide and 120 kilometres deep, which was to become the scene of the largest tank battle in history. Driven by his confidence in his elite Panzerwaffe and Waffen-SS units, Hitler launched Operation Citadel, unaware that the Red Army was not only prepared but also vastly superior in terms of numbers, firepower and depth of defence outnumbering their opponents by about 2.5 to 1. What followed was a brutal battle of steel and strategy, pitting German ambition against Soviet resilience. Tanks and Armour at Kursk 1943 presents a vivid and richly illustrated account of the German armoured forces that led this historic attack. With in-depth analysis, detailed captions and a wealth of rare and unpublished photographs, this book brings to life the machines, units and men behind the last major German offensive on the Eastern Front.
