Kursk, Hitler's Gamble, 1943, by Walter S. Dunn
Jr. English text, soft cover, 208 pages. The story of
history's largest armored battle, based on declassified
Russian documents and captured German records with many
descriptions of Tigers, Panthers, and T-34s in combat.
A significant turning point of World War II, the battle of
Kursk in the summer of 1943 was the Germans' last major
offensive on the Eastern Front. Marked by pitched clashes
between German Tiger tanks and Soviet T-34s, the engagement
began well enough for the Germans, but the Soviets delayed
them long enough to bring their reserves forward,
counterattack, and force Hitler to call off the attack.
Hundreds of thousands lay dead or wounded on both sides,
but the Soviets won the battle and seized the initiative
for the rest of the war.
Even if jaded by the sheer volume of books already written
about this battle, the reader would do well to consider
adding this volume to his bookshelf: Dunn has managed to
successfully reassess quite a number of generally accepted
facts.
