John Kettler Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) The above title concerns the Second Battle of Warsaw and looks to be impressive. Praga is the part of Warsaw to the east of the Wiusla/Vistula River. The book turned up in a search for something else, and I thought I should let you all know about it. Since I have no idea what arrangements were made regarding this complete translation of the book, I think it best I not provide a link. It falls smack in the period of Operation Bagration, too. Found it hosted on a site called RuLit (Russian Literature). Be advised reading this won't be easy, since the "genius" web designer provides navigation controls only at the top of the page! The pics alone would be worth the effort, based on my spot viewing.

Ivanov Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I think this is a book about the Battle of Radzymin. I've never heard anybody referring to it as a "Battle of Praga". Later on, during the uprising there was some fighting in Praga, but the tank battle is called just Battle of Radzymin.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Radzymin_(1944) Edited October 13, 2016 by Ivanov 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76mm Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If you're worried about copyright issues, any particular reason you didn't just provide a link to the amazon site? Warsaw II 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I've bought this book some time ago, John. Although 100 pages or so of it exists of vehicle facts and color profiles of vehicles (which don't belong in a book like this to my opinion) it also contains quite good information on the battle for Praga from the end of July until October 1944 which is hard to find elsewhere. Decent text and acceptable pictures. Not great, but not bad. There's also a book called Warsaw 1: tanks in the uprising, August 1944-October 1944. Same calibre.

John Kettler Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Ivanov, Couldn't say one way or the other. 76mm, That would require having the thought, at the time, to do so! Simply didn't cross my mind. Good point, though. Aragorn2002, Appreciate feedback on the book and notification of the other.
