The third book from KV Publishing in the 'Ostfront Panzers' series is now available for sale. 

The book's physical form:
Now, to those of you familiar with the "Panzerwrecks" series, you would be almost at home with this book's look and feel. Large-format photos with descriptive captions of each of the shots; rare, if-ever-seen-before photos reproduced in this large-format book.
'Ostfront Panzers 3' continues the theme of the previous issue, focusing on German armoured vehicles in Belorussia. This edition features more photographs and newsreel footage, depicting battles in various regions of Belorussia during the winter of 1943-44 and their results. The spring of 1944 is also partially covered, and footage from Operation 'Bagration' in the summer of 1944 is also included. 
Here you will find over 110 photographs describing the design of the vehicles, attesting to their belonging to German units, and their history. Images of vehicles in German service are supplemented by several photographs of various captured German AFVs. A useful addition is the colour images of combat vehicles with their tactical markings and a map of the vehicle's location in one region of Belorussia.
Artist Alexey Stefanov drew and coloured several illustrations that he worked on for Ostfront Panzers 3
