Description

Tanks in Operation Bagration 1944: The Demolition of Army Group Center by Steven J. Zaloga In the summer of 1944, the Soviet Union launched Operation Bagration, a campaign that would prove to be one of the most decisive battles of World War II. This new study examines the role of tank warfare in this operation, which saw the destruction of Army Group Center and marked a significant turning point on the Russian Front. The German forces were severely weakened by the transfer of Panzer divisions to France, leaving them vulnerable to attack. The Red Army exploited this weakness, crushing Army Group Center and pushing deep into Poland and East Prussia. This book explores how the tanks and armored vehicles on both sides contributed to this outcome, using new photos and color illustrations to explain the camouflage and markings of key vehicles. The operation marked a major milestone in the development of Soviet tank warfare, with the widespread use of T-34-85 and IS-2 tanks as well as self-propelled guns. This book provides a detailed look at the role of these vehicles in the battle, shedding new light on this critical period in World War II history.
