Mauled at Stalingrad, the German army looked to regain the
initiative on the Eastern Front with a huge offensive launched near
the city of Kursk, 280 miles south-west of Moscow. Armed with the
new Panther tank, Hitler and Field Marshal von Manstein were
confident that they could inflict another crushing defeat on the
Soviet Union. What they did not know is that the Soviets knew about
the coming attack, and they were ready. This book focuses on the
southern front of this campaign, which featured one of the biggest
clash of armour of the warin the battle of Prokhorovka which
involved over a thousand tanks. It examines in detail the tactics
and mistakes of the army commanders as they orchestrated one of the
bloodiest battles in World War II. Using campaign maps, stunning
photographs and vivid artwork, this new study, a companion to
Campaign 272 Kursk 1943: The Northern Front, examines whether that
the German offensive was doomed from the start as it takes the
reader through this titanic clash of armour.
