Item description from seller

Hardcover. Bloody Streets: Armor, Artillery and Assault Groups in the Battle of Berlin is a comprehensive reference work on armoured warfare during the Battle of Berlin. The Red Army launched their final offensive in Europe with the highest concentration of tanks and self-propelled artillery ever assembled up to that time. Yet, they lost more armour in each day of fighting than during any other battle the Allies fought during World War II. Most of the armour losses inside Berlin were caused by a new German weapon known as the Panzerfaust. The hand-held rocket was employed for the first time in large numbers and revolutionized anti-tank warfare. The new weapon allowed anyone with rudimentary training, no matter their age, to easily destroy the largest armoured vehicle on the battlefield. To ensure the survivability of their tanks and self-propelled artillery, the Red Army evolved the Assault Group concept and issued orders to protect their armour with new anti-Panzerfaust screens. The Soviets fundamentally altered the structure of their tank armies and related offensive doctrine in the aftermath of the Battle of Berlin. Many of the lessons learned documented by the Red Army at that time are still relevant to armoured tactics in complex terrain today. This book presents for the first time in English over a hundred pages of Soviet lessons learned on the employment of tanks, self-propelled artillery, artillery pieces, and the evolution of Assault Groups in the Battle of Berlin. German anti-tank tactics are detailed through the observations of the Red Army combat units that fought in the battle. This new volume is designed as an armour reference for the Battle of Berlin. Hundreds of wartime black and white photographs of Soviet and German armour and artillery illustrate this book in a large format. Each photograph includes a comprehensive description with technical details and historical context. The photographs are supplemented by over a hundred colour profiles, 2D and 3D images of German and Soviet armour, to include Allied Lend Lease vehicles, artillery, and support vehicles. In addition, hundreds of colour photos of surviving examples of the armour that fought in Berlin from both sides are included to provide modelers with superb reference material, to include all three T-34/85 Factory variants. Of particular interest are the graphics that depict the different Assault Group formations that formed across the First Belorussian and First Ukrainian Fronts in order to protect armoured units and overcome determined German resistance. Researchers, armour enthusiasts, and modelers will find rich new material about the Battle of Berlin from the unique perspective of armoured warfare. This is the first of several new volumes about various aspects of the Battle of Berlin, which build upon decades of research for the original Bloody Streets. AUTHOR: Aaron Stephan Hamilton is an academically trained historian, avocational maritime archaeologist, technologist, researcher and published author. He has studied adversarial military operations and technological innovations across a wide-spectrum of fields gained through a quarter-century of military and national security service. Hamilton's primary historical interest is the final year of combat operations during World War II, with a focus on the evolution of military tactics and technology. He also researches the exploitation of German and Japanese wartime innovations by the Allies, and their impact in the postwar world. Bloody Streets: The Soviet Assault on Berlin first published in 2008 remains the most detailed tactical study of the Battle of Berlin published to-date. 39pp colour illustrations, 143 colour photos, 273 b/w photos, 33 b/w illustrations, 5 b/w maps, 11 tables Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
