{"product_id":"the-panzers-of-prokhorovka","title":"The Panzers of Prokhorovka","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ground-breaking new study that transforms our understanding of one of the most famous battles of the Second World War, widely mythologized as the largest tank battle in history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday in Russia there are three official sacred battlefields: Kulikovo, where the Mongols were defeated in 1380; Borodino, where Russian troops slowed Napoleon's Grande Armee before Moscow in 1812; the third is Prokhorovka, where the Soviet annihilation of Hitler's elite SS Panzer force on 12 July 1943 in the largest armoured clash in history has traditionally been described as a key turning point in the war. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panzers of Prokhorovka challenges this narrative. 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 Based on ground-breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield, Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka.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\n","brand":"Osprey Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56047795700090,"sku":"ZOS-9781472859082","price":20.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/The-Panzers-of-Prokhorovka.jpg?v=1760975210","url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/en-ie\/products\/the-panzers-of-prokhorovka","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
