About the book >.>.> The armored clash near T the Russian city of Kursk in 1943 has been widely known as the largest tank battle in history involving over six thousand armored combat vehicles on both sides. However the first large-scale armored struggle on the Eastern Front took place immediately following the German invasion of the Soviet Union. In the early days of Operation Barbarossa eighteen German divisions from Sixth Army and Panzer Group 1 were directly involved in the battle of the Bloody Triangle which featured massive tank formations on both sides of the frontlines. From June 24 to July 1 roughly 650 German tanks and 180 assault gun and tank destroyers fought over 1500 Soviet tanks in a roughly triangular area of approximately 1800 square miles between the northwestern Ukrainian towns of Lutsk Dubno and Brody. The Bloody Triangle details this titanic clash which is one of the most important but little-known battles of World War II. (SP)
