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 Based on ground-breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield, Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka.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","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57198456406398,"sku":"NW9781472859099","price":13.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781472859099.jpg?v=1778532258","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/panzers-of-prokhorovka","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
