Eastern Front, January 1944.
When Operation Korzun was launched, it was the first time two Russian tank armies spearheaded an attack. The Soviet commander Konjev’s tactics were successful and 55,000 German soldiers were encircled. The Soviet version of events claims that only a very few managed to escape, but the truth is that over 40,000 German soldiers managed to get out but had to leave all their equipment behind, thereby losing the initiative once again on the Eastern Front.
In this self-contained follow-on from the Slaget om Kursk/Battle of Kursk, the military historians Frankson and Zetterling offer an updated look at one of the most dramatic and ruthless chapters of the war on the Eastern Front.
