ReplyDelete‘Love your work, Cardinal!
Yes we would have been 10...thumbing through Purnell’s ‘History of WW2’ magazines.
The Panzerkeil –(Panzerwedge) at Kursk.
There is a book: ‘Kursk- The Vital 24 Hours’ that came out some years ago. Quite good but poor maps.
A more recent book (I haven’t got it yet) is written from the Russian point of view and draws on unit histories since the fall of the USSR so is less politically correct and more factual.
It was a damn close run thing...but the German’s never knew how close the Russians came to breaking.’
Cheers,
