Red Army Handbook 1939-1945

An excellent new book on the Red Army. This volume contains detailed information on the TO&E (Tables of Organization and Equipment) for Soviet ground forces in the Second World War. The focus of the book is very tight; the changing Soviet unit organization, and Soviet army weapons. Don't look here for tactical doctrine or operational history! One could wish that there was more discussion of Lend-Lease weapons and vehicles, particularly in terms of delivery quantities and dates, and more on Soviet radios and soft-skinned transport vehicles. Nevertheless, a must-have item for Red Army affectionadoes.
