When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 the Red Army had
four times as many tanks as the Wehrmacht and their tanks were
seemingly superior, yet the Wehrmacht won the border battles with
extraordinary ease the Red Armys tank force was pushed aside and
for the most part annihilated. How was this victory achieved, and
were the Soviet tanks really as well designed as is often believed?
These are the basic questions Boris Kavalerchik answers in this
absorbing study of the tanks and the tank tactics of the two armies
that confronted each other at the start of the war on the Eastern
Front. Drawing on technical and operational documents from Russian
archives, many of which were classified until recently and are
unknown to Western readers, he compares the strengths and weakness
of the tanks and the different ways in which they were used by the
opposing armies. His work will be essential reading for military
historians who are interested in the development of armoured
warfare and in this aspect of the struggle on the Eastern Front.
