Description
Soviet Tank Units 1939-45 offers a comprehensive guide to the main armoured fighting vehicles used by the Red Army during World War II. This compact volume features over 250 full-colour artworks and photographs, providing detailed specifications for each vehicle. The book covers key campaigns throughout the war, including the German invasion of 1941, the defence of Moscow, and the final defeat of Axis forces in Berlin, Vienna, and Budapest in May 1945. Organised chronologically, it provides a thorough survey of Soviet-employed armoured fighting vehicles, from major to minor types that saw action on the Eastern Front. In addition to tanks, the guide also includes Lend-Lease Armoured fighting vehicles, light vehicles, self-propelled guns, tractors, and trucks, making it an essential reference source for military modellers and World War II enthusiasts.
