Re: Late-War Russian Success, 44-45.....
Yes please, lets keep this on the up and up here guys, there is some "truth" in both of your statements, but most of it is something in between here as to the Eastern front.
Wolster, I'm not to sure all German equipment was "junk", they had their issues though as we all know.....
Kurtis, some of your info is valid, but a lot of them was not "in general" what happened (like all the time), for every good commander, there were bad ones, be it a Co commader to Battalian and above.
You might want to read up a bit more on this, I suggest When Titans Clashed and The Battle of kursk, both by David Glandz. You also might want to find Tank Rider by Evgeni Bessonov and T-34 in Action by Artem Drabkin and Oleg Sheremet.
You will find all kinds of interesting things there, and they are fairly easy to get. Your local book store or Library should be able to get ahold of them.
Cheers, thanks for the interest in the topic gents!!
