I´m currently working on a school assignment and chose for topic the tanks of WW2 and how they were used. I just wanted to ask if any of you know about good books/documentaries about the issue, that would provide a good overview for me.

I can recommend you to read book "Tank Power of the USSR" by Michail Svirin. This is my favorite book about soviet tanks. But i don't know, was this books translated in English or not.:unsure:

UPDATE: Find small review of this book in English: http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/ref/yauza/book_yauza_tank.shtml

Do u need english stuff or german stuff? I have a number of stuff for german tanks - but in german.
But it could be a good idea to look for Steven J. Zaloga books. He published a lot of important books for tank, tank design, tank warfare, ectpp..

Steven J Zaloga and Thomas Jentz is what you want regarding books.

Most documentaries are trash, especially the Sherman documentary based on Belton Coopers book.

The top 10 tanks documentary is even worse and makes no sense.

Btw here you can get most of the books free http://b-ok.org/
