Does anyone have this book?
How is informative it?
How many pages does take the description of July 5-7?
I am interested in sector 168 ID and actions in its sector 6 PD.

I have this book, it's similar to his other books. It's fairly short, has a lot of photographs/graphics and focuses on this unit. However I recall that it significant research/information that is not in other books on Kursk. I would have to pull it out to answer these questions.

Sorry, I mix up - not 167 ID, but 168 ID.

Unfortunately, the 168 ID does not reflect the actions of the reinforcing units. Due to the limited documents of the 6th PD, it is impossible to reconstruct the course of action of the units of the 6th PD which were North of Belgorod. Why the 6 PD units can't successes on July 5th and on the evening of July 5th were transferred Southey of Belgorod.

I looked through the combat operations log of the 375th Rifle Division and it indicated that there were no serious fights in the 168th ID sector on July 5, which gave the 375 RD an opportunity to support the actions of the right flank 52nd g. RD.

Why the III PzK command did not exploit the success of the II SS-PzK at Berezov - Gremuchiy.
