Historical Significance

The Battle of Kursk (July 1943) marked a turning point in WWII, with German forces launching Operation Citadel, aiming to regain momentum on the Eastern Front. The battle saw the deployment of Tiger I tanks, armed with deadly 88mm cannons, which played a critical role in the massive engagement at Prochorovka, where Soviet T-34 tanks swarmed the battlefield in daring counterattacks.


The German forces faced devastating losses, including hundreds of tanks and significant damage to their elite SS divisions, leading to the cancellation of Operation Citadel. Following Kursk, the German Army was forced into a defensive position, marking the beginning of its retreat from the Eastern Front.
