King Tiger vs IS-2: Operation Solstice 1945: Duel, cartea 37

Autor David R. Higgins Ilustrat de Jim Laurier, Peter Dennis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2011

However, the IS-2 was lighter, more manoeuvrable and most importantly, far more numerous. With overwhelming numerical superiority the Soviets were able to simply overwhelm their opponents, negating the technical superiority of the King Tiger
