Description: | Select Guide Rating A few months after Stalingrad, the armies of Hitler and Stalin fought one of the largest armored battles in history at Kursk. This illustrated book examines this titanic struggle. Mauled at Stalingrad, the German army looked to regain the initiative on the Eastern Front with a huge offensive launched near the city of Kursk, 280 miles southwest of Moscow. Armed with the new Panther tank, Hitler and Field Marshal von Manstein were confident that they could inflict another crushing defeat on the Soviet Union. What they did not know is that the Soviets knew about the coming attack, and they were ready. |
