Operation "Citadel" : A Text and Photo Album, Volume 2: The North

With more than 540 photographs of the northern sector of the Battle of Kursk, most identified here properly for the first time, this book presents a detailed visual presentation of the largest tank battle in history. An in-depth text covers the build-up and the fighting on a day-by-day basis, along with 30 pages of four-color artwork, to include formation insignia, maps and all of the major vehicles used by the Germans. Numerous tables show orders of battle for both sides as well as vehicle counts and losses for the Germans. Rarely has a battle been so thoroughly researched and rarely have so many myths concerning a battle been laid to rest.
