Hitler's War Against the Partisans During the Kursk Offensive - (9781036128654)
The critical period of 1943 saw intense fighting behind German lines particularly during the Battle for the Rails in July and August. Stalin's partisans worked relentlessly to block the flow of German supplies and troops forcing the Germans to contend with a growing insurgency. Dr. Antonio J. Muñoz's book examines these guerrilla operations using German maps to detail partisan movements and the German response which included increasing anti-partisan operations.
The year 1943 marked a turning point in the war on the Eastern Front. While Stalingrad in 1942 revealed Germany's inability to win in Russia the failed Battle of Kursk in 1943 demonstrated the inevitable loss of the war. The partisan efforts were so successful that by August 1943 only 80% of the trains carrying supplies reached Army Group Centre's front lines.
