Thank you very much, Erich, I will be interested of course.

In any case, Op Kutuzov was a 3-Front affair (Western, Bryansk and Central Fronts), involving hundreds of thousands of ground troops (I don't have my library handy so I can't give a proper figure ) but in any case the LW would be hard put to stop this soldiery by itself.

By the way, an interesting thesis: http://etd.lsu.edu/docs/available/et...lug_thesis.pdf
