Defeat at the Dnepr: The XLVIII Panzerkorps Counterattack at Kiev, November 1943 with Simon Waring (Casemate, 2026)

Simon Waring discusses his Casemate book on XLVIII Panzerkorps' counterattack to retake Kiev in November 1943 — Manstein's operational dilemma, the commitment of two Panzer divisions including the newly refitted 1st SS Leibstandarte, and the corps-level fighting that temporarily stabilised Army Group South's front. This is proper Eastern Front operational history at the formation level, covering a phase of the war that gets far less attention than Kursk or the earlier retreats. Waring gets into the mechanics of how Manstein assembled his striking force and why the counterattack succeeded tactically but couldn't hold strategically.
