The author Igor Nebolsin continues with his detailed chronology of
the 2nd Guards Tank Armys combat operations. This volume includes
the hard fighting outside of Warsaw in the summer of 1944; the 1st
Belorussian Fronts winter offensive in the Vistula Oder operation
and the ensuing combat in Pomerania; and the final assault on
Berlin, when the 2nd Guards Tank Army enveloped the German capital
from the north and entered the city from north and west, fighting
its way to the Tiergarten Park in the heart of Berlin. The author
also briefly discusses the 2nd Guards Tank Armys subsequent history
as part of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, its eventual
disbanding in 1997, and its reconstitution four years later on 4
September 2001. As with the first volume, the author s study is
based upon the Armys operational documents from the Central
Archives of the Russian Defense Ministry and recollections of its
veterans, and received the active cooperation of Major-General
Anatoly Shvebig, who was formerly a deputy commander of the 2nd
Guards Tank Army s 12th Guards Tank Corps. It includes objective
after-action reports from the Armys commander General Bogdanov and
its subordinate formation commanders. Of note in this volume are
General Bogdanovs recommendations for a tank armys table of
organization and equipment and its proper use in combat operations,
written shortly after the war ended. Illustrated with numerous
images and supplemented with detailed tables, this volume completes
the exhaustive study of the 2nd Guards Tank Army, Stalins
favourite.
