Kursk was flawed more so when Hitler stripped the rest of the line for this madness which was a bad omen. I bet Hitler was taken back when the Russians went over to offensive operations, for the Russians they knew they could stop the Germans (Moscow) and win a major battle (Stalingrad) now they knew after Kursk they could win the war.
Funny thing is this, Russia could had taken longer to be a major military power than they did. When Hitler's army came crashing in to Russia in that summer of 41 was to turn a battle damaged Soviet army in to a major army for many years after WW2.
