Description
The tank battles in the Soviet Union during the summer of 1941 were the largest in World War II, with over 4,000 tanks engaged in combat. This book examines the German Panzer 38(t) and the Soviet BT-7, two evenly matched competitors that played a significant role in these battles. With full-color artwork and archive and present-day photography, this study assesses the strengths and limitations of these two types of tanks against the wider background of armored doctrine in the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa. The Panzer 38(t) and BT-7 were both of similar size and firepower, with the former being a Czechoslovak design and the latter an evolution of the American Christie tank. This book provides a detailed analysis of these two tanks, including their design, capabilities, and performance on the battlefield. By examining the Panzer 38(t) and BT-7 in detail, this book offers a unique insight into the armored battles of the Soviet Union during World War II.
