Solid As a Rock covers the regiment's actions as part of the 7th Flieger Division north of Smolensk in November 1942-January 1943 and the fierce fighting to save the southern flank of the German 2nd Panzer Army around Orel in February-March 1943. Supported by rare personal recollections of the participants and detailed maps and sketches drawn from seldom consulted primary sources, this book offers an intimate insight into the fighting through the eyes of the soldiers of a neglected campaign on the Eastern Front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albrecht Zimburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804514187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804514184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helion \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Albrecht Zimburg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478420152575,"sku":"9781804514184","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6fee809-5cc2-4c0b-b147-58640deb8aee.jpg?v=1715935113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solid-as-a-rock-albrecht-zimburg-9781804514184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
