It was a German defeat and therefore a Soviet victory. The loser is that who surrendered or withdraw the battle field. We did it. But Kursk is being so much overrated here. It was not at all the turning point of the war and not the largest defeat of the Wehrmacht.

And about those Ferdinands. It is impossible that more than 90 Ferdinands would have been available in Kursk, because there were only built 90. And it is also impossible that 90 would have been destroyed, because then, where the hell did the Elephants in Europe came from?
