Legendary 1943. A radical turning point in the Great Patriotic War
14.99 €
Justifying the failures of the winters of 1941 and 1942, the Germans kept talking about "the best Soviet commander - General Moroz" and then took revenge in the summer. It seemed that this would be the case in 1943. Already in March, after a stunning victory at Stalingrad, the Soviet troops suffered a crushing defeat at Kharkov. However, the summer of 1943 showed that the Soviet troops can win without General Moroz. Why Hitlerites this time did not manage to repeat the success of previous summer campaigns? How did the balance of forces on the Soviet-German front change? How did the legendary liberation begin? And what price had to be paid for the first summer victories of the Red Army and the "radical turning point in the Great Patriotic War"?
From the Stalingrad triumph to the German counterattack at Kharkov and from the Arc of Fire to the forcing of the Dnieper - in this book, a leading military historian analyzes the pivotal battles of World War II, during which the Red Army seized the strategic initiative from the Wehrmacht, not to let it go all the way to Berlin.
