Waffen-Ss: Kursk 1943, Vol. 5 (Archive Series) - Hardcover

The Waffen-SS: Kursk 1943 titles, of which this is Volume 5, form an exquisite series of collector-quality photo books by RZM Publishing. Embracing an aesthetic seen only in high-end art and photography books, RZM presents over twenty-eight rolls of newly discovered combat film shot by six Waffen-SS Kriegsberichters (war correspondents) during the renowned East Front battle of Kursk in July 1943. In addition to being an invaluable visual reference for all students of military history, this poignant six-volume series focuses on the experiences of the frontline infantryman, a subject too often eclipsed by the grandeur of the political and military landscape of the Second World War. Printed on deluxe European semi-matte art paper for unparalleled photographic reproduction, each page literally`pulls' you into the images, making you feel as though you are a part of the action. This documentary-style series presents the photographs in the actual sequence in which they were taken, creating a visual diary unlike anything previously published on the subject. This volume contains extraordinary images of the men and armoured vehicles of the 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division`Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler' and the 3rd SS Panzer Grenadier Division `Totenkopf', in action and at rest.

Remy Spezzano is the founder and owner of RZM Publishing, a company that has become a byword for high quality photo books on the German Armed Forces of the Second World War.

The selected images are then enhanced using the most advanced photo-retouching techniques to obtain optimal visual appeal. These same rigorous standards are also applied to the graphic design and production of each book, which the publisher approaches like an artist intent on realizing his vision. The end result is a body of work that is world-renowned and includes RZM's best selling God, Honor, Fatherland; Platz Der Leibstandarte and Kampfraum Arnheim.
