The following is from V. Gorbach's already mentioned book for the 08Jul43 around 10:30.
"In the air large groups of German aircraft appeared, which began continuous attacks on the advancing units of the 2nd and 5th Guards Tank Corps. Soviet tankers described the type of German aircraft, which participated in the attacks as Ju 87 and Bf 110, armed with antitank guns. In reality the main role in restraining of the Soviet attack played the antitank crew forces of 4. and 8.(Pz)/SchG1, 4.(Pz)/SchG2, and also Pz.Jg.St/JG51."

Do you mean this book would be published in English? That would be great.
