The battle of Kursk was the greatest tank battle of World War II and possibly in all history. Now, seventy years later, this new publication commemorates this battle. The text follows the course of operations of the Das Reich division, but also the other formations of the SS-Panzer-Korps. The narrative is based directly on German war diaries and from Otto Weidinger’s previous historical researches on the division.\nThe hundreds of photographs, taken by German war correspondents following the SS units – Max Büschel, Cantzler, Grönert, King, Friedrich Zschäckel and many others – allow an intimate view of those tragic and terrible events. Photos of men, weapons and vehicles, taken on the battlefield, before, during and after the engagements, during the rare moments of rest, ‘frozen’ on rolls of film, are a true testament to military history. An exceptional photographic documentation of use not only to historians and military history students but also modeling enthusiasts. While some photos have previously been published, many are previously unpublished, gleaned from the principal public and private archives.\nTable of Contents\nPlans for the new offensive

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt: Volume 4 (Monographs) (English and Polish Edition)

Wieliczko, Leszek

• Includes free decals and masking foil • Packed with color photos The T-55 tanks were a series of main battle tanks designed in the Soviet Union. T-54s and T-55s were involved in many of the world's armed conflicts during the late twentieth century. In 1961, development of improved protection systems began. The goal was to protect the crew from fast neutrons; adequate protection against gamma radiation was provided by the thick armor. The tank was equipped with a full chemical filtration system. The coaxial 7.62 mm SGMT machine gun was replaced by a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The hull was lengthened from 6.04 m to 6.2 m. The hull machine gun was removed, making space for six more main gun rounds. These changes increased the weight of the vehicle to 38 tons. This album of detailed photographs is invaluable for the modeler or enthusiast alike. About the Series This is a classic series of highly illustrated books on the best machines of war, with several hundred photographs of each aircraft or vehicle. With close-up views of the key features of each machine, including its variations, markings and modifications, customizing and creating a model has never been easier. Includes extra features such as decals and masking foil.
