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.

On September 1, 1939 the German army invaded Poland and started the greatest war the earth had ever seen. Contrary to popular myth, the Polish army fought with determination and skill.

This book traces the saga of the brave Polish 10th Mechanized Division, the “Black Brigade” from the opening days of invasion to the fall of Poland. Elements of the intrepid Black Brigade eventually withdrew from Poland and formed the nucleus of the Polish 1st Armored Division that would in 1944 close the Falaise Gap and play a key role in the capture of thousands of German troops.
