1-254390 Waring, Simon DEFEAT AT THE DNEPR: The XLVIII. Panzerkorps' Counterattack at Kiev, November 1943 Seeks to correct the historical record on many unknown, ambiguous, and contentious details relating to the XLVIII Panzerkorps counterattack against the Russians trying to reclaim Ukraine, and in doing so, hopes to shed light on the nature of combat on the Eastern Front in late 1943. German General der Panzertruppen Balck claimed that meddling by higher-level commanders and poor weather squandered his efforts to recapture Kiev. His Soviet opponents claimed the opposite: a superior Red Army defeated the XLVIII Panzerkorps, and claims about poor weather were merely self-serving justifications for German failure.
