T-26 Light Tank - Backbone of the Red Army (Osprey)

The T-26 was the first major Soviet armour program of the 1930s, beginning as a license-built version of the British Vickers 6-ton export tank. Although the T-26 retained the basic Vickers hull and suspension, the Red Army began to make extensive changes to the turret and armament, starting with the addition of a 45mm tank gun in 1933.
The T-26 was built in larger numbers than any other tank prior to World War II. Indeed, more T-26 tanks were manufactured than the combined tank production of Germany, France, Britain, and the United States in 1931-40.

This book surveys the development of the T-26 as well as its combat record in the Spanish Civil War, the war in China, the border wars with Poland and Finland in 1939-40, and the disastrous battles of 1941 during Operation Barbarossa.

Fallen Giants : The Combat Debut of the T-35A Tank

The Soviet T-35A is the only five-turreted tank in history to enter production. With a long and proud service history on Soviet parade grounds, the T-35A was forced to adapt to the modern battlefield when the Second World War broke out.
Outclassed and outdated, the T-35A tried to hold its own against the German invaders to no avail.

Very little is known about these strange vehicles, beyond their basic shape and photographs of them on parade grounds and battlefields. For the first time, actual battlefield photographs have been cross-referenced with maps and documents to bring about the most complete look at the T-35A in the Second World War to date.
It is a grim depiction of the aftermath of the giants that were the Soviet T-35A tanks.

Panzer der UdSSR - 1917-1945 (Typenkompass)

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg hatten die Sowjets mit dem T 34 den seinerzeit erfolgreichsten Kampfpanzer vorgestellt. Weil die Führung der UdSSR plante, im Konfliktfall mit der NATO die westeuropäischen Staaten mit massiven Panzervorstößen bis zur Atlantikküste zu überrollen, baute sie ihre Panzerstreitkraft in den kommenden Jahrzehnten massiv aus.

Alexander Lüdeke porträtiert alle wichtigen sowjetischen Panzermodelle, die seit 1945 bis zum Ende des Kalten Krieges gebaut wurden. Illustriert von vielen Abbildungen, werden die Vorzüge, Nachteile und Besonderheiten der einzelnen Typen übersichtlich dokumentiert.
