About Waffen SS Panzer Divisions At The Fourth Battle Of
The first book to exclusively research the Fourth Battle of Kharkov, this book examines the actions of the Das Reich, Wiking and Totenkopf divisions around the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, August 1943. After the turmoil of Hitler's failed offensive at Kursk, the Soviet forces pressed their advantage that summer, seeking to expel the German Army from their territories. Seizing the opportunity, the Stavka sought to recapture the key city of Kharkov during Operation Rumyantsev. Erich von Manstein, however, commander of Army Group South, rushes three battle-hardened SS Panzer divisions among other forces in an attempt to stop the tide. This book relies on archival material, scarce books written by officers who fought in this battle, as well as eyewitness accounts to put together a compelling account of this short but ferocious action. In addition, over one hundred period photographs accompany the text, depicting the officers and men who are described in the main essay.
