Kursk The German View
This book presents the 1st person accounts of German commanders who planned and executed the largest tank battle in history. After the war the US Army interviewed and recorded the after action reports of German officers involved in the Battle of Kursk. The author has gathered all of these reports together and retranslated these overlooked historical documents to present the largely overlooked German view of the battle. This book presents a new and unprecedented picture of German strategy and operations. the author also adds the necessary commentary and original research to challenge a number of widely held ideas about this pivotal battle. Includes a nice map section and excellent detailed orders and very detailed combat strengths. Newton also examines Army Group South's assault plans suggesting that German mistakes resulted in the failure to break the Soviet defenses.
