The Kursk campaign was the major German offensive of 1943 and saw some of the most bitter fighting on the Eastern Front in World War II. The Battle of Kursk is a dramatic retelling of the story of this conflict in vibrant graphic novel form.
In 1943, the fate of the Eastern Front hung in the balance. After a crushing defeat at Stalingrad, the German Army, desperate to regain the initiative, planned a huge offensive near the city of Kursk, 280 miles south-west of Moscow. Armed with the new Panther and Tiger tanks, Hitler and Field Marshal Erich von Manstein hoped to cut off and destroy Soviet forces in the Kursk salient using a pincer attack. But the Soviets knew they were coming, and they were ready.
The elite SS Panzer divisions were flung headlong into a well-prepared Soviet defense, and a bitter battle ensued. This graphic novel brings that battle vividly to life through the eyes of the men who were there, combining historical authenticity with stunning illustrations to tell the full story of the last great German offensive on the Eastern Front.
