Organised chronologically by type, Russian Tanks of World War II 1939–1945 presents a comprehensive, model‑focused survey of Red Army armoured fighting vehicles from pre‑war machines such as the T‑18 and BT series through the iconic T‑34, KV and IS heavy tanks to the self‑propelled guns of the war’s final months. The book situates each vehicle in the Eastern Front context, documents every significant variant (notably the many T‑26 and T‑34 versions), includes Allied Lend‑Lease AFVs in Soviet service and pairs technical analysis with operational data—production and strength statistics, causes of T‑34 losses and combat engagement ranges—to give readers a clear picture of Soviet armoured development and battlefield employment 1939–1945.
As a technical reference aimed at military historians and modellers, the title features 120 newly commissioned full‑colour artworks, detailed tank profile drawings with authentic markings and camouflage schemes, exhaustive specification tables and comparative “Tank Profiles Compared” spreads. It also contains data on guns, armaments, production and Lend‑Lease arrivals, making it a practical painting/marking and research aid.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
