The Soviet Vienna Operation began on 16 March 1945 when the assault armies of 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts succeeded in penetrating the Axis defense between Esztergom and Lake Balaton. It ended less than a month later, on 13 April 1945, when all its objectives were achieved, and Vienna was taken.The defeat at Vienna inflicted a mortal blow on the Nazi economy – the Third Reich lost its important economic regions in Hungary and Eastern Austria that were still largely untouched by the war.Finally, the victory at Vienna allowed Stalin to solidify his presence in Central and Eastern Europe and legitimize his absolute dominance over the region. The Western Allies and the small democratic countries of Western Europe were forced to realize that the Red Army wouldn’t fall back and return to its homeland, but would stay and erect an iron curtain behind which communist regimes would be installed. Thus, the Soviet Empire expanded to the west, and Europe was divided for the next 45 years.Penned by a leading Bulgarian researcher, the book provides an expert analysis of this battle. A considerable number of German and Soviet wartime documents were accessed, and this allowed the author to tell the story fro

In January 1944 the Red Army at last succeeded in putting to an end one of the most dramatic sieges in the history of warfare, that of Leningrad. The Soviet spearheads quickly expelled the Wehrmacht from the vicinity of the city, but once they reached the prewar border with Estonia, they were stopped dead in their tracks by a very determined Axis resistance. There, at river Narva, Germans, Estonians, and Waffen SS volunteers and conscripts from all over Europe stood firm for several months against numerous Soviet violent attacks. By doing so, they were able to cripple the ambitious military and political plans of Joseph Stalin, and to effectively postpone the Soviet re-conquest of the Baltic States for more than half a year.Penned by a leading Bulgarian researcher, the book provides an expert analysis of this lesser-known battle. A considerable number of German and Soviet wartime documents were accessed, and this allowed the author to tell the story from perspective of both sides. It also contains many never-before-published photographs.

October 1944: Soviet troops launched a powerful attack on Budapest from the south, the culmination of a series of military, political, diplomatic and underground moves undertaken by Hitler, Stalin and Churchill since the collapse of the Axis front in the Balkans two months earlier.

The Red Army reached northeastern Rumania in the last days of March 1944. Stalin had high hopes that the 2nd and 3rd Ukrainian Fronts would be able to quickly conquer the Balkans. But those hopes were not to be fulfilled.Bulgarian researcher Kamen Nevenkin’s From Bessarabia to Belgrade covers the military history of the bloody fights in southeastern Europe from March to October 1944. This is a short study, illustrated with numerous never-before-published wartime photographs.

Konstantin Rokossovsky was one of the most talented commanders of the Soviet Red Army. He fought in many important battles such as Kursk, Bobruisk, East Prussia. Kamen Nevenkin's richly illustrated study examines his main battles in the period of 1943-1945 and contains 163 wartime photographs and 10 maps which mostly have been never published before.

Kamen Nevenkin and Lee Archer join forces to bring you hitherto unseen photos from the depths of the Russian archives in Panzerwrecks 20: Ostfront 3. This book is exclusively about the havoc and wreckage inflicted on the Panzerwaffe by the Russian airforce around Lake Balaton in Hungary. Lots of late war German AFVs in varying stages of destruction - perfect for the modeler or student of armored conflict. Specially commissioned colour artwork by Felipe Rodna show selected Panzers and the weapons used by the Soviet airforce. Includes a map of the battlefield.

Walka o stolicę Węgier w latach 19441945, podobnie jak bitwa toczona w zakolu Donu, pozostawiła niezatarty ślad w pamięci zbiorowej narodu węgierskiego. Choć temat ten był poruszany przez kilku autorów, stosujących różne podejścia, nie opublikowano jeszcze prawdziwie wyczerpującego opisu opartego na wyważonych badaniach odpowiednich źródeł archiwalnych przeciwnych stron na temat wojskowej historii bitwy stoczonej na terytorium Budapesztu. Bułgarski badacz Festung Budapest Kamen Nevenkin omawia wojskową historię operacji Budapeszt. Studiując i analizując ogromną ilość ważnych lub intrygujących szczegółów oraz wykorzystując niespotykaną dotąd liczbę źródeł i materiałów archiwalnych z których większość była wcześniej niedostępna opracował dogłębny opis 108-dniowej operacji. W tych szerszych ramach autor skupia się przede wszystkim na trwającym ponad 50 dni oblężeniu Budapesztu, na bitwie, która toczyła się w granicach węgierskiej stolicy.
