Lak, Martijn Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract 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?

Did Vatutin err when planning the defense of the Voronezh front while preparing for the battle of Kursk? / Zamulin, Valerii Nikolaevich ; Britton, Stuart ((tran.)   Article
Valerii Nikolaevich Zamulin (translated by Stuart Britton)a* Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The author Valerii Zamulin addresses a long-standing controversy concerning the Battle of Kursk: Why was the III SS Panzerkorps much more successful in the south than the Ninth Army’s offensive in the north? The author argues that Vatutin, with the approval of the Soviet high command, opted for a sensible ‘matador’s defense’ by deliberately thinning a section of his front line at the main Oboian’ highway to lure the Germans to attack there and then to weaken and stop the onrushing German ‘bull’ with armored thrusts by the 1st Tank Army and two separate tank corps, plus the 67th Army. Vatutin’s mistake was his belief that these alone would be sufficient to stop the Fourth Panzer Army’s main attack.
