slysniper Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 In the last 6 to 7 years I have come across written material from publishers that state that much of what many of the earlier historians have written about Kursh is a myth. These newer accounts claim that Germany fielded less tanks than what older records show, but also that they lost less than what Russians claims were. In addition, Russian Armor losses were very high, some of this new history states the the Germans came very close to winning this operation and that there is source material showing they were there longer and did not retreat from the Prochorovka area as soon as what is reported in older accounts. Is this new infomation correct or is it just history being rewritten to someone's new fantasy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecumseh Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think the massed soviet forces to the north and south of the Kursk salient, and the counter-attacks towards Orel and west of Kharkov are all the evidence you need that there was no 'winning' Kursk for germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
