Walter S. Dunn's 'Hitler’s Nemesis-The Red Army, 1930-1945' [1994] and perhaps the most definitive book on the battle by David Glantz & Jonathan House 'The Battle of Kursk' [1999]

As to actual overall losses, who knows?


Was the Sylvester Standler you mention, SS-Standartenführer Sylvester Stadler?
I would have agree with Anzac on this one. There are many great books on the battle you cant discredit one just because its written by someone from another country. You must look at the overall picture. I doubt that George Nipes had any information about the battle that the Russians didnt have. But it sounds like a novel that I would enjoy.
