In total, Kharkov would change hands violently four times between October 1941 and August 1943, and Rostov-on-Don also four times between November 1941 and February 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Chris McNab examines the fighting men of the Red Army and the Waffen-SS who clashed in three battles - one for Rostov (July 1942) and two for Kharkov (February-March and August). He clearly explains the key differences between these two opponents - training, tactics, weaponry, ideology and motivation - and examines how these differences played out in the three engagements, which ranged from open-terrain combined-arms battles to close-quarters street fighting in major urban zones. The text is complemented by specially commissioned artwork and mapping and carefully chosen archive photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52930525495605,"sku":"EB_MW0500_00000_DUBAI","price":96.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/7773\/1381\/files\/9781472857989-1.jpg?v=1789405317","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.ae\/ja\/products\/9781472857989","provider":"Books Kinokuniya UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
