LanguageENG
AuthorLak, Martijn
Summary / Abstract (Note)The battle of Kursk ranks as one of the most famous and decisive battles of the Second World War. Nevertheless, among (military) historians there is still considerable debate on this huge clash between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht. This review article discusses some of the more recent developments in the historiography of the battle of Kursk in general and that of Prokhorovka on 12 July 1943 in particular. Was Operation Zitadelle (Citadel) indeed “the panzer graveyard” and how decisive was this battle?
