| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the notion that the Battle of Kursk represented the end of German offensive operations on the Eastern Front, and that henceforth the German Army was solely tied to the defensive. Focusing upon the strength of the German formations involved, it outlines a number of the dozens of German offensives and counter-attacks that occurred during the period of 1943-1945. The article concludes that the German Army retained its offensive capabilities till the end of the war and that its operations played a significant, but frequently forgotten, role in shaping the Russo-German conflict. |
