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 Based on ground - breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka.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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Panzers Of Prokhorovka The Myth Of Hitlers Greatest Armoured Defeat\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Wheatley Dr. Ben (University Of East Anglia Uk)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781472859082\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320 Pages, 48-Page Plate Section In Colour And Black And White.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Tanks \u0026amp; Military Land Vehicles","brand":"Wheatley Dr. Ben (University Of East Anglia Uk)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49617439686961,"sku":"IN-G-9781472859082","price":26.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781472859082.jpg?v=1724479746","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781472859082-the-panzers-of-prokhorovka-the-myth-of-hitlers-greatest-armoured-defeat","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
