The story of the battleship Tirpitz—Bismarck’s sister ship—and the desperate Allied efforts to destroy it . . .

After the Royal Navy’s bloody high seas campaign to kill the mighty Bismarck, the Allies were left with an uncomfortable truth—the German behemoth had a twin sister. Slightly larger than her sibling, the Tirpitz was equally capable of destroying any other battleship afloat, as well as wreak havoc on Allied troop and supply convoys. For the next three and a half years the Allies launched a variety of attacks to remove Germany’s last serious surface threat.

I en sista jättelik kraftmätning drabbade över 2 000 ryska och tyska stridsvagnar samman vid Kursk 1943.

IMHO, one of the best books to come out on a very well known Eastern Front battle.THe Korsun (or Cherkassy) pocket was perhaps the last time the Wehrmacht gathered a large force of tanks equal in strength to the Russian force.
The narrative is well detailed and provides a good breakdown of the fighting force of the Germans and the Russians. The appendices are particularly useful, with a breakdown of the strength of every division and major fighting force,e.g., batallion,Stug Abteilung,etc.
