Illustrated by previously unpublished images. Superb reproduction quality. Focuses on the German frontline infantryman's experiences The Waffen-SS: Kursk 1943 titles, of which this is Volume 5, form an exquisite series of collector-quality photo books by RZM Publishing. Embracing an aesthetic seen only in high-end art and photography books, RZM presents over twenty-eight rolls of newly discovered combat film shot by six Waffen-SS Kriegsberichters (war correspondents) during the renowned East Front battle of Kursk in July 1943. In addition to being an invaluable visual reference for all students of military history, this poignant six-volume series focuses on the experiences of the frontline infantryman, a subject too often eclipsed by the grandeur of the political and military landscape of the Second World War. Printed on deluxe European semi-matte art paper for unparalleled photographic reproduction, each page literally 'pulls' you into the images, making you feel as though you are a part of the action. This documentary-style series presents the photographs in the actual sequence in which they were taken, creating a visual diary unlike anything previously published on the subject.This volume contains extraordinary images of the men and armoured vehicles of the 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division 'Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler' and the 3rd SS Panzer Grenadier Division 'Totenkopf', in action and at rest.
