Default Re: Kursk (by popular demand!)

You mean Mansteinīs possible big victories, I guess?!

Maybe , maybe, but then again the Red Army was starting huge attacks to Orel and Belgorod, the second part of Kursk, and even if Manstein might have caused huge losses to the Red Army the pincers might have surrounded his troops and caused the loss of all German force there in Kursk pocket instead.

So Iīd be careful there as the Red Army was pouring in troops around the Kursk salient and simply being victorious ( Manstein ) at Prokhorovka would not really count that much.
