A new study of tank warfare used in the Soviet offensive of Operation Bagration , which destroyed Army Group Center. Operation Bagration , the 1944 summer campaign on the Russian Front, has been called “Hitler's Greatest Defeat.” The operation involved substantial tank and armored vehicles on both sides but the German forces were severely hampered by the transfer of dozens of Panzer divisions to France to repel an expected Allied invasion. Forced to make hard decisions, German tank forces in the central Belarus sector were weak compared to the heavy concentration of Panzers in northern Ukraine. The Red Army exploited this vulnerability, crushing Army Group Center, and pushing beyond the Soviet frontier into Poland and East Prussia. With this crucial victory secured, the Red Army conducted successive offensives beyond the Carpathian Mountains, arriving at the Vistula river in Poland, and forcing Romania to switch sides.

The destruction of the trapped German forces in the Falaise pocket in August 1944 is one of the most famous episodes of the Normandy campaign. But myths have grown up around accounts of the battle, and its impact on the course of the war is sometimes misunderstood. In this meticulously researched and perceptive study Anthony Tucker-Jones dispels misconceptions about the battle, describes the combat in graphic detail and reassesses the outcome in the context of the campaign to liberate Europe.

This huge and splendid volume tells the grim tale of the final collapse of the Third Reich. It does so from the viewpoints of the upper millstone (the Western Allies), the lower millstone (the Russians) and the grain being ground in between (the Germans). The research includes previously untapped Russian archives (particularly in the accounts of Soviet veterans) and leads to a gripping and horrifying story that serious students of military history will find almost impossible to put down.

A month earlier the Japanese had launched Operation Ha-Go, which was intended as a feint to draw British attention away from the Imphal area. But British forces employed new defensive techniques to counter the Japanese infiltration tactics.

Механик-водитель немецкого танка «Тигр» описывает боевой путь, который он прошел вместе со своим экипажем по военным дорогам Восточного фронта Второй мировой войны. Обладая несомненными литературными способностями, автор с большой степенью достоверности передал характер этой войны с ее кровопролитием, хаосом, размахом уничтожения, суровым фронтовым бытом и невероятной храбростью, проявленной солдатами и офицерами обеих воюющих сторон. И хотя он уверен в справедливости войны, которую ведет Германия, под огнем советских орудий мысленно восклицает: «Казалось, вся Россия обрушила на нас свой гнев и всю свою ярость за то, что мы натворили на этой земле».
