About this title

Synopsis

Three Soviet submachine guns - the PPD-40, PPSh-41 and PPS - embodied the fighting spirit of the Red Army in World War II, seeing combat from the opening battles of Barbarossa to the final struggle for Berlin. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and vivid first-hand accounts, this is the story of the rugged and lethal close-combat weapons that helped to turn the tide of war in the East.
