Ok, German fact:

The attack on Kursk was to have been followed by a German offensive in the north, code-named Operation Parkplatz, which was intended to take Leningrad by storm.Given the extraordinary losses suffered by the 6th Army at Stalingrad,it is astonishing that Hitler still had any appetite for warfare in built-up areas. Nine divisions were earmarked to join AGN for the assault, although Field Marshal von Kuchler signalled that he had enough siege artillery in place and would not require more.The failure at Kursk led to the cancellation of the operation.
