TANKS IN THE WINTER WAR 1939-1940 Operations: Scandinavia
£16.99
The Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland three months after the outbreak of WW2 and ended three and a half months later with the Moscow Peace Treaty. Despite superior military strength, especially in tanks and aircraft, the Soviet Union suffered severe losses and initially made little headway. The poor performance of the Red Army encouraged German Chancellor Adolf Hitler to believe that an attack on the Soviet Union would be successful and confirmed negative Western opinions of the Soviet military.The book has high-quality colour tank drawings plus pages containing specifications of the tanks involved.

Description
Tanks in the Winter War is a unique book. There have been many books written about the Winter War, but none have described the Soviet units and their efforts, and none have described the tanks used in the conflict. This book is based upon Russian sources. There are concise accounts of the Soviet units, their equipment and the commanders and operations. There is also an account of the Finnish defence, fortifications, mines and more. Furthermore; the only tank battle of the Winter War, the battle of Honkaniemi, is described in detail. Tanks in the Winter War is a must for all who are interested in what happened in Finland during WW2.
