Description: A ground - breaking new study that transforms our understanding of one of the most famous battles of the Second World War widely mythologized as the largest tank battle in history. Today in Russia there are three official sacred battlefields: Kulikovo where the Mongols were defeated in 1380; Borodino where Russian troops slowed Napoleon's Grande Arm e before Moscow in 1812; the third is Prokhorovka where the Soviet annihilation of Hitler's elite SS Panzer force on 12 July 1943 in the largest armoured clash in history has traditionally been described as a key turning point in the war. The Panzers of Prokhorovka challenges this narrative. The battle was indeed an important Soviet victory but a very different one to that described above. Based on ground - breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka. This book tackles the many myths that have built up over the years and presents a new analysis of this famous engagement.
