Igorn when the historian went to primary sources they found out that the story usually told on Prokhorovka was badly flawed, German losses there were much lower than were repeatedly told. I saw first time the real German tank losses in Madeja's Russo-German War series in mid/late 1980s. But some wri...

Thanks again, Shingo! Very interesting info, especially the numbers of Khs. One question again. The numbers of the new tanks are little bit lower (20 less KVs and 38 less T-34s) than the numbers I have seen for the last 11 years which btw are the same that You gave in your first message on 19.7. bec...

Thanks a lot Shingo! Excellent info! Sorry about the late thanks but I have been away on a short holyday. I have some knowledge on German so I can understand most of the text, more or less, even if I must check some details with my dictionary. Those reinforcements partly explained why 256th wasn't o...

In matter of fact British 3.7s shot down German planes. There is an history of the British AA arm, a thick book, cannot now remember the author (at work now) but one of the topics of Wakefield's Luftwaffe Encore is the attack on the Bristols aircraft factory at Filton on around 25th Sept. 40 (not du...

Hello Yes, I also interpret it so, at least that is the way Germans usually gave their losses. No info about vehicle losses. The tracked elements of the PzJgAbt. 38(SF) and its most weary wheeled vehicles were shiped over with the major part of the PzR on the first lift. So I think that the PzJgAbt....

Hello what I remember from the book is that on the first or the second day of the battle is that after Germans have crossed the Oka? river they were stopped by some Soviet heavy tanks firing at the German vanguard tanks from nearby ridge. Germans returned fire but to their dismay their long-range fi...
