Reference Material on the Battle of Kursk

[Skinny_Mike]

Hi guys - I am looking to get a good reference book (meaning lots of pictures) or two on the battle of Kursk. Its really hard to know when you're buying online if a book is going to be good or not. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks
Mike

I noticed this book yesterday, found this review. Seems a little pricey for its size, but might help you.

I've got the Pacific one from that series and I agree it's a great start...the Osprey books are usually quite excellent as well...

I have a few from that publisher and some of them are not very good at all. One on D-Day had the US and the Brits fighting the Germans and although there was a Canadian beach evidently we never arrived because there were only 2 sentances in the whole book about Canada. So not I am leary of them. There were other problems in other books as well, that was just one example.

In my experience, anything published by JJ Fedorowicz was always a great reference. Expensive, but exhaustive.

If you want to spend some money Operation Citadel Vol 1 and 2 are incredible books. Here is vol 2 at an outrageous price. https://www.amazon.ca/Operation-Cit...words=Operation+Citadel&qid=1586648170&sr=8-8
Other books that might be good.
The images of war books aren't bad. https://www.amazon.ca/Battle-Kursk-...watch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1586648170&sr=8-28

I forgot about those James. I had them. You're right, excellent stuff. They've been asking that price for Vol 2 for about 10 years now. It's not realistic. I think I sold mine for around $180 after about a year of listing it. Vol 1 was pretty much list price.

Whenever I placed a wholesale order, I'd round it out with JJ Fedo titles, so I had almost all of them at one point. Still have a good amount, but the Group histories and Citadels went first.

I Like JJ Fed but they are expensive. There are still a few more I need one day when I strike it rich. Its just the price holding me up now.
