Battle Of The Kursk. It remains both the largest series of armored clashes, including the battle of prokhorovka, and the most costly single day of aerial warfare to date. As the former curator of the kursk museum, zamulin has detailed the battle in the southern half of the kursk bulge and at prokhorovka and is now preparing, based on the german ninth army’s captured kriegstagebuch, a new study on the fighting in the northern half of the bulge.
The decisive moment of hitler’s offensive in the east. The german forces neared prokhorovka, 54 miles southeast of kursk, but before they could attack the soviets countered on 12 july with a force of five tank brigades, leading to one of the largest tank battles in military history.
