72 pages, 179 photos, 16 color profiles. The Second volume of the "armor Battles on the Eastern Front". Robert Michulec's efforts have been rewarded with his search throughout Eastern European archives and private collections to bring the readers many unique not-before-published wartime photos to fill the book. This book begins with the battle of Voronezh in January 1943 and continues to the battle of Berlin in 1945. Mid 1943 saw the Germans at high tide. In addition, from then on, the downfall of the Third Reich was inevitable. Armor from both sides of the conflict are captured in photo, this time the Soviet armor advancing, while German armor demolished. Many unpublished photos of interesting vehicles like Elefant, Whirbelwind, Bergepanther, IS-2, Soviet Sherman are included in the book. With the interest of German and Soviet armor models among modelers, this book should be an excellent reference material for the modelers. Artists, A. Wrobel and W. Kloriski provide good camouflage and markings in the color profiles.
