In July 1943, the Germans saw Russia as their grand prize, but the Soviet Army proved stronger, shrewder, & more resilient than they had expected.
Rupert Matthews examines the Nazis decision to launch their attack at Kursk, the tactical advances on both sides, &, ultimately, how the Russian army managed to thwart a German breakthrough.
These pivotal events can be seen as both a decisive turning point in the Second World War & a fascinating case study in modern military strategy.
