Title: Osprey books on Russian unit/tank organisation and structure?
Post by: hakejumble on 31 October 2017, 02:11:43 PM
Hi all,

I've recently put an order in for a couple of Osprey books on the American/German organisation through the years.

Just wondered if anybody had a link for any Russian Osprey books on how Russian tanks were organised?

Not as such. Look at the lists on BGMRWWII Yahoo group for my take on it, also the Fire and Fury site has good stuff, and Nafziger (sp). My own army lists do cover most of it but are I suspect out of print. Also - but probably very expensive - Zaloga's "Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of WW II" covers this in detail. The Airfix Magazine guide on Russian tanks is also very informative.

Hope that helps.

As an intro you could find this summary helpful.

The Structure and Organization of the Red Army's Tank Forces (http://english.battlefield.ru/en/tank-armaments/42-122mm-guns/124-u11.html)
