The battle of Kursk, fought in the summer of 1943, involved six
thousand German and Soviet armored vehicles, making it the biggest
tank battle of all time and possibly the largest battle of any
kind. Students of military history have long recognized the
importance of Kursk, also known as "Operation Citadel," and there
have been several serious studies of the battle. Yet, the German
view of the battle has been largely ignored.After the war, U.S.
Army Intelligence officers gathered German commanders' post-war
reports of the battle. Due, in part, to poor translations done
after the war, these important documents have been overlooked by
World War II historians. Steven H. Newton has collected,
translated, and edited these accounts, including reports made by
the Chiefs of Staff of Army Group South and the Fourth Panzer Army,
and by the Army Group Center Operations Officer. As a result, a new
and unprecedented picture of German strategy and operations is made
available. The translated staff reports are supplemented by
Newton's commentary and original research, which challenges a
number of widely accepted ideas about this pivotal battle.
