SkirmishCampaigns: Russia ’41 – Into the Ukraine

When the German commanders of Army Group South invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, they were hopeful and optimistic. These feelings of superiority would be tested to their limits in the next three weeks as German tanks encountered the might of the powerful Soviet tank corps of the Ukraine. Unlike the other Soviet fronts, the Ukraine was equipped with the majority of the new Soviet T-34s and KV-1s. These powerful assets plus numerous older tanks (including the amazing T-35 super-tank) would slow Army Group South and later force a large section of Army Group Center to commit to the Ukraine (some argue this provided the time to fortify Moscow and prevent its capture). This book covers the huge armored clashes between the 11th and 16th Panzer Divisions and the Soviet armor of the 15th and 8th Tank Corps.
