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. 606 $aKursk, Battle of, Russia, 1943 615 0$aKursk, Battle of, Russia, 1943 676 $a940.5421735 700 $aRupert Matthews$01745082 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910150496403321 996 $aKursk$94175551 997 $aUNINA
