The battle was indeed an important Soviet victory, but a very different one to that described above. Based on ground-breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield, Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka. This book tackles the many myths that have built up over the years, and presents a new analysis of this famous engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 648g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 163 x 32 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472859082\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. BenWheatley","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44276672004346,"sku":"9781472859082","price":17.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1686323243154_book.jpg?v=1686566133","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-panzers-of-prokhorovka-the-myth-of-hitlers-greatest-armoured-defeat-9781472859082","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
