Two bestsellers in one volume! The best monument to Soviet anti-tankers! In this edition, Artem Drabkin’s book “I Fought with the Panzerwaffe” is supplemented for the first time with the memoirs of P. A. Mikhin, who fought in battles from Rzhev to Prague and Port Arthur. “The barrel is long, life is short”, “Double salary - triple death”, “ Farewell, Motherland! - all these are front-line nicknames for artillerymen of 45.57 and 76 mm caliber guns, which were placed for direct fire immediately behind, or even ahead of, infantry formations. It was they who were entrusted with the deadly task of knocking out German tanks. Every battle, every destroyed tank was fought with blood, every change of position was fought with sweat. Victory in a duel with Hitler's tank aces required tremendous endurance, courage and skill. And until the very end of the war, the Panzerwaffe, including the formidable Tigers, suffered their heaviest losses not in duels with Soviet tankers, but from our artillery fire. “The main thing is to knock out their tanks!” - this catchphrase from “Hot Snow” has become a universal formula for Victory.
