Armoured Warfare on the Eastern Front (Images of War) Kindle Edition

A pictorial history and analysis of the tank warfare between Red Soviet and Nazi forces along the Eastern Front during World War II.

On the Eastern Front during the Second World War, massive Soviet and German tank armies clashed in a series of battles that were unmatched in their scale and ferocity. Several of them have attained almost legendary status. But epic encounters such as these were only part of a broader story, as Anthony Tucker-Jones demonstrates in this selection of graphic photographs. While the images give a fascinating inside view of combat, they also reveal the daily routines of tank warfare 65 years ago. Training, maintenance, transportation, and supply are shown, as are the daily lives of the tank crews and the often appalling conditions in which they worked and fought. The photographs also record in vivid detail the destructive reality of armored warfare, from the initial triumphant advance of the German panzers deep into the Soviet Union to the massive Red Army counter-offensives which drove the German armies back to Berlin.

Praise for Armoured Warfare on the Eastern Front

“Each chapter includes a useful introduction and the pictures each come with an accurate and informative caption, describing the item in the picture and placing it in context, comparing it to its opponents at the time or looking at production numbers. This is a high quality piece of work, and a useful photographic guide to the armoured vehicles of the Eastern Front.” —History of War

Nice Photos of Eastern Front Armor

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

The objective of this book is rather ambitious —to provide photographic coverage of armored warfare for all of the Eastern Front! This obviously is impossible. However, most of the major campaigns are included along with brief (several page) introductions for each topic. It ends up being a reasonable overview of the war.

The heart of the book are the photographs. A total of 224 photos are included. Many are from a private collection and most have not been published before, though a few have been published in other Images of War books. Image quality ranges from poor (10%), to good (50%), to crystal clear (40%). A large portion of the photos (perhaps 60%+) are of wrecks. The subject matter is interesting, though there wasn’t really any shot that caused me to go “wow!” All in all, this would be great photo book for newcomers to the Eastern Front and a nice, but not critical, addition to the library of more advanced researchers.

A picture is worth a thousand words

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

There are alot of pictures in this small book. Near half taken by the winning Germans during the early beginning and then slowly transitioning to the Soviet take on things as they pushed on to Berlin.

Most pictures (if not all) are of fine quality and cover a large field of what's happening across the front.

In between your postcard look of military might and the wages of war the author has written many a fine chapter on the Eastern Front. How Stalin remand blissfully ignorant for as long as he could of the evil intention of Hitler. Then how the Soviet ability to turn a total landslide defeat into denial. Then using that denial to rebuild and reforge a impoverished nation into a military bulldozer. Information and subtitles are included for every picture and there are a good many maps as well.

This book is really a good buy for just the images alone. Then they throw in the historical war data and descriptions of the actual forces involved with dates. Worth the money. I hope you enjoy.

Excellent photos but not being able to zoom with the kindle fire hampered my use for building models or general reference. Overall good info on the pictures but units are not given.

Hard to describe the magnitude of the Great Patriotic War

In a book of this size...but Anthony Tucker -Jones does a nice job of giving a brief synopsis of the various campaigns and battles on the Eastern Front. Also provides a plethora of photos that this reader had not seen before.

Essentially a summary

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021

Excellent summary of the Eastern Front. A lot of photographs not seen or used before. But if you're looking for technical comparisons and detailed tactics, this is not it.
