While I rarely search for information on the Soviet-German front, I have once again come across a nice battle article that is sadly lacking maps. And once again I have found other maps that can be put to that purpose --why else would I post here. Here's the article: On the role of the 8th Mechanized Corps in the June 1941 counteroffensive mounted by the South-Western Front - ENGLISH.BATTLEFIELD.RU - ENGLISH.BATTLEFIELD.RU Here's the source for the situation map (AMVAS site). http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/maps/1941SW/Frontier/S_SW_June_22_July_9_41.jpg http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=75826&stc=1&d=1331145691 The battle map for the first counterattack is from Google Maps. I surmise the difference in spelling is the use of Latin characters in Russian(text) versus Ukraine(map). http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=75827&stc=1&d=1331145691 Since I was not able to identify the towns with any certainty (Pelcha, etc.), I have not included a battle map for the second counter attack. But the general area is between Brody and Dubno. Pan southwest to L'viv and use the '+' button to zoom in. Brody is northeast of L'viv. Map detect I would like more information on the second counterattack. While the enemy losses were probably over estimated, the presence of T-34's and KV's lends some credit to the reports. If anybody knows of additional sources (from either side) in books or on the web please post.
While the map posted above has a better appearance, I think the map I used in the starting post better matches the article I linked to. However I think the map above may correspond to other interpretations of the battle other than the version of the commander of the 8th Mechanized Corps.
Turns out the wiki article has some background on the battle: Battle of Brody (1941) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However the map on wiki article seems to go with this web page covering the advance of Panzer Division 11 before the battle: 11. Panzer Division's drive to Dubno, 23-25 June 1941
