Synopsis
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. This book focuses on the southern front of this campaign, which featured the one of the biggest clashes of armor of the war, as over a thousand tanks clashed in the battle of Prokhorovka. It examines in detail the tactics and mistakes of the army commanders as they orchestrated one of the bloodiest battles in World War II. Using campaign maps, stunning photographs, and vivid artwork, this new study, a companion to CAM 272 Kursk 1943: The Northern Front, examines whether the German offensive was doomed from the start as it takes the reader through this titanic clash of armor., Accounts of history's greatest conflicts, detailing the command strategies, tactics and battle experiences of the opposing forces throughout the crucial stages of each campaign After Stalingrad, Hitler sought to regain the initiative on the Eastern Front with, Operation Zitadelle, a huge pincer movement against the Kursk salient. Although von Manstein's Heeresgruppe Süd featured the new Panther tank, and included the elite LSSAH, Das Reich and Totenkopf divisions, Vatutin's Voronezh Front knew about the coming attack. As a result, the Soviets developed a three-tiered defensive structure and planned to use new defensive tactics. In this companion volume to Kursk 1943: The Northern Front, the Southern Front of the Kursk campaign is explored in unrivalled detail, including the epic armoured clash at Prokhorovka. Using highly detailed maps, stunning photographs and exquisite artwork, this new study examines in detail the tactics, plans and mistakes made by both German and Soviet commanders in one of the bloodies battles of World War II.
