The battle that broke Hitler's back.

Kursk July 1943

In July of 1943 The Soviets and Germans engaged for 2 weeks in one of the
biggest battles of WW11. This one was huge and when it concluded Germany was forever broken.

Germany won the battle but in strategic terms lost.

Commanders: German - the wily Manstein, Model the criminal

Soviets - Zhukov the butcher, Vatutin and the great Rokossovsky
