I will change that since it isn't really the point of this article anyway. There are varying estimates of the prisoner haul at Kharkov. I was going by memory, and I will have to look at the question more closely when I write about that battle in particular. However, I am pretty sure I saw a figure of 600k for the Kharkov battle somewhere, probably in a German source. Anyway, many thanks as always, you certainly do know your WWII facts!James Bjorkmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749118745932210527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50651698518155984.post-62886723313629218952016-02-12T06:37:23.588-07:002016-02-12T06:37:23.588-07:00Dear Mr. Bjorkman, The haul of prisoners in the se...Dear Mr. Bjorkman, The haul of prisoners in the second Battle of Kharkov (May 12, 1942 to May 30. 1942) was approximately around 200 K (not 600 K as was the case in the Uman pocket or the Battles of Bryansk and Vyazma in 1941). Please see the link below :-<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_Kharkov<br /><br />This error apart, the article is an excellent psychological portrait of Hitler and Mannerheim in that momentous year of 1942. Hope you will also cover the meeting of Hitler with Franco in Hendaye, Spain in 1940 which also had disastrous consequences for Italy and the Axis war effort. Hitler was poor at conducting summit meetings or coordinating with his allies in the conflict.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RajaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445901604914777242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50651698518155984.post-56427357375673314082016-02-10T13:50:14.752-07:002016-02-10T13:50:14.752-07:00This is interesting if you have never heard Hitler...This is interesting if you have never heard Hitler's regular voice.
