Kursk books.

I don't have many, but a really nice one is : -

'Operation Citadel - Kursk and Orel, the Greatest Tank Battle of the Second World War' by Janusz Piekalkiewicz ( Costello, nd ). This is a translation of a German book published by Lubbe Verlag in 1987. A large book with excellent bibliography and the best collection of Kursk photos I've ever seen.

And then the heavyweights : -

'Stalingrad to Berlin - The German Defeat in the East' by Earl F. Ziemke ( Center of Military History, 1968 ).
'The Road to Berlin' by John Erickson ( Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1983 ).
These are both 'standard' reference works with large chapters devoted to Citadel.

And, of course, as mentioned above 'Scorched Earth' which only lacks knowledge of ULTRA intelligence.
