Kursk 1943
In the largest tank battle of World War II, the Soviet army successfully resisted the German Panzer offensive in the Kursk Salient on the Eastern Front, and in the counter-offensive that followed, began an advance that finally ended in Berlin. This book is a history of the battle.
Illustrated throughout, a focused examination of the German army's attempt at hemming in the Soviets.
Kursk 1943 by Mark Healy is illustrated throughout and provides a focused examination of the German army's attempt to hem in the Soviets.
In the summer of 1943, the German army stood poised for a major offensive. The attack was aimed at the Kursk salient, which the Germans intended to isolate, trapping large numbers of Russian troops and paving the way for the decisive campaign to knock the Soviet Union out of the war. By the time of the attack, the Russians had turned the salient into a mass of defensive positions.
In the following decisive clash, the Soviets bled Germany's vital Panzer forces white and finally took the initiative. The counter-offensive which followed began an advance that would end in the ruins of Berlin.
