In total, Kharkov would change hands violently four times between October 1941 and August 1943, and Rostov-on-Don also four times between November 1941 and February 1943. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Chris McNab examines the fighting men of the Red Army and the Waffen-SS who clashed in three battles - one for Rostov (July 1942) and two for Kharkov (February-March and August). He clearly explains the key differences between these two opponents - training, tactics, weaponry, ideology and motivation - and examines how these differences played out in the three engagements, which ranged from open-terrain combined-arms battles to close-quarters street fighting in major urban zones. The text is complemented by specially commissioned artwork and mapping and carefully chosen archive photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Osprey Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56047794979194,"sku":"ZOS-9781472857989","price":14.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Waffen-SS-Soldier-vs-Soviet-Rifleman.jpg?v=1760975207","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-fr\/products\/waffen-ss-soldier-vs-soviet-rifleman","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
