The photographs in this book have been sourced from the author’s own extensive collection as well as various archives including Russian Army, Finnish Army, US Army, US Signal Corps and Canadian Army collections. In addition, the author would like to thank Igor Bondarets, Rene Chavez, Nik Cornish and Scott Pict who kindly assisted with the picture research for this title by providing images from their Eastern Front photo libraries. Inevitably the quality of the images varies greatly, and some poorer quality ones have been included for their novelty and uniqueness, particularly when it comes to the rarer indigenous East European equipment. Readers will note a marked paucity of armour in the later chapters: this, of course, is because these units were primarily infantry formations but have been included for the sake of completeness in assessing how they coped with armoured warfare on the Eastern Front.
