Sommario/riassunto

Beginning with the strategic situation in 1943, this tale recounts the circumstances that led to this decisive battle that was a key turning point of the Second World War on the Eastern Front. Considered by both the Germans and the Soviets to be a highly unpromising place to fight a battle, Kursk would prove the undoing of the Germans. Recalling the various stages of the fighting, the early tactical advantage of the Germans and the subsequent Soviet victory, 'Kursk' is an account of a major campaign that involved more than 3 million men, 8000 tanks,



40,000 guns and 5500 aircraft.
