III. Pz. Korps at Kursk
This book is the first to look at such a restricted section - 10 km of the 200 km that traditionally form the front - of the Battle of Kursk. This description enables the reader to follow each of the units in the III Panzerkorps day-by-day, if not hour-by-hour, as they progressed during what is still considered the biggest tank battle in history. The narrative of the fighting, based on the logbooks of III Panzerkorps units, is studded with anecdotes, memories and eyewitness accounts gathered from the German veterans and survivors of the 6., 7. and 19. Panzerdivisionen.
After more than ten years' research, the author is now able to present the precise, often scarcely known, role of the horse-drawn infantry divisions or the odyssey of the s.Pz.Abt. 503 of the future General von Rosen throughout the fiery anvil that was the Battle of Kursk.
Likewise, among the German photographic archives Didier Lodieu came across the films belonging to the two reporters who were present during the fighting. Thus, the 6. Pz.Div. workshops in action, or the rare moments of respite for the crews, were filmed as they were in real life and are the subject of separate items.
