is watching with bated breath the news from russia, at stalingrad the red army captured dozens thousands of german soldiers, but germany. was still very strong. an enraged hitler demands the destruction of soviet troops in the kursk area. preparations for the offensive last for 3 months. almost the entire military power of nazi germany was concentrated near kursk. july 5 german tanks the columns moved forward. thus began the largest battle of the second world war. the battle of kursk was supposed to be decisive.

the red army managed to defeat the elite german divisions, why did hitler finally lose the war at kursk, why didn’t even the latest tanks and planes help him?

in early 1942, at the battle of moscow , nazi german troops suffered their first serious defeat in world war ii. the germans came close to the soviet capital, but were unable to take it. thanks to reserves that arrived in time, the red army applied.

then the defeat, then the germans by that time they had developed tiger-panther tanks, which were not, maybe maneuvers than the tt4, no, they were heavy tanks, very good... which was very effective against the well-medium t-34 tank. the soviet medium tank t-34 was inferior to german innovations in firepower and armor thickness, but was the most maneuverable tank in its class. in one trip, the t-34 could cover more than 400 km and fire up to 100 shots. enemy shells often simply bounced off the tank’s sloping armor without causing damage.

no harm. in 1942, mass production of t-34 tanks was launched at machine-building plants in the urals and siberia. in 1942, it must be said that we supplied troops with 24,500 tanks, that is, we succeeded. in march 1943, the red army's offensive

in ukraine was stopped. the germans transferred reserves here from france and launched an unexpected counterattack. they reoccupied kharkov, belgorod and the adjacent territories. at the end of march, when the spring thaw began, parts of the wehrmacht received orders to go on the defensive. the front froze in waiting for summer. both sides were preparing for a new battle, in which tank troops were to play a major role. at that moment , this kursk ledge was formed. it has a front length of more than 300 km. and he went 150 km into the german defense, that is, it seemed to be asking for itself.

in april 1943, hitler ordered the development of a plan for the encirclement of soviet troops in the kursk area. he proposed cutting off the kursk bulge with two strikes from tank armies in converging directions. the northern front of the arc was to attack the strike forces of the army group center, commanded by model. southern front, troops of army group south, under the command of manstein. both generals opposed the operation. they insisted that they had it in the kursk area. there are not enough forces to defeat the red army. in their opinion, the idea was too

risky. the success of the operation could return the strategic initiative to the wehrmacht, but its failure promised disaster. the battle of kursk was to be the decisive battle of the war in that it would determine whether germany would maintain or lose the strategic initiative. and...

on march 18, 1943, moscow received a secret encryption from geneva, in which soviet intelligence officers from the dora group warned stalin that the germans were gathering large forces on the kursk bulge. this information was confirmed from the message. british intelligence, the soviet side was expecting an offensive and information leaked through intelligence and primarily through cambridge... when german radiograms were read, and this data turned out to be quite sufficient to build a german plan, that is, what it looks like in general terms, again without they didn’t know the specifics of the direction of the attacks up to a kilometer, in addition, they were mistaken in the balance of forces, the british said that the largest number of divisions was on the northern

face of the arc, and the germans made the main attack on the southern face, well, one might say that the british. they made a mistake, yes, and i wouldn’t like to think that they did it on purpose, but the fact remains : three fronts were entrusted with holding the defense near kursk: in the north , rakosovsky’s central front, in the south , vatutin’s voronezh front. at the base of the kursk ledge stood the steppe front of konev. the generals argued: what to do, defend or attack? vatutin proposed not to wait until the germans accumulated forces for the course. and go on the attack first. stalin had the final say. he decided to prepare for defense. here there were arguments, hesitation, what if the germans break through our defenses, there were such thoughts. it will turn out like in 1941. fine. then it was decided to build the defense so

tightly that they would not break through. in total , under the course.

each point included up to twenty guns. the guns could fire in all directions. the distance between the strong points was about half a kilometer. if enemy tanks tried to break through between strong points, the guns fired at their more vulnerable side armor. built by dottoy, tsotty. they dug so many trenches, this is... 3 4 5 6 lanes, that if you put them together, this is from moscow to kamchatka, this is several thousand kilometers, that is, everyone worked and even laid the railway specifically in order to throw up troops and ammunition directly to the place of hostilities, people they worked, ordinary people - these are local residents who were mobilized, yes, this is a huge work, but nevertheless they built such a defense,

which was then also filled with mines in front of our positions, this was a very important matter,

it strained all the forces possible and the number of german troops to the soviet-german front rose even slightly above the level of june 22 , 1941, that is, the germans raised everyone they could under arms. the emphasis was placed on the latest types of weapons, if the tiger tank had already been in soviet-german front, then the latest vehicles, panther tanks and ferdinand self-propelled guns were 100% new, besides this... naturally, ammunition was accumulated, aviation was concentrated. it is believed that approximately 70% of the armored corps of the then germany was concentrated in the kursk direction, the most violent ones took part there.

during interrogation, he said that german troops were put on full combat readiness and on the night of july 5 they would launch an offensive on kursk. that's when the message came that the germans would begin the crime at 3:00 a.m., july 5, 1943 year, it was decided to hold.

the reich, which had been gathering under kursk for several months, began to move, the nazi tank columns moved like a steel wedge towards our trenches. it was reminiscent of what the germans, probably, yes, used back in the thirteenth century, like a pig, a wedge, that is, the wedge is in front - heavy tanks, with heavy tanks coming behind . more medium-sized, then light tanks, then infantry, followed by those same tigers and panthers, who also pursued the goal of psychologically inflicting a serious blow on

the red army, because there were still such tanks no one saw, they were very powerful, so brilliant and very well armed in this sense. tiger t6, what is it? this is 100 mm frontal armor, which our gun could not penetrate even at close range. our tank destroyed guns on the t-34 ikv at a distance of 2 km. this was a significant advantage. on july 10, the command of the red army sent out a special order to all fronts to fight german tanks. it contained detailed instructions for destroying enemy armored vehicles. then such brochures or leaflets were already made, where

new german tanks were shown. and how should they be beaten? necessarily, if the anti-tank rifle is fired either into the viewing slot or from its rear, right? or side armor, because frontal armor is difficult to penetrate. how to throw grenades there? yes, the fact that in a minefield , if it... was blown up, how to destroy it, with molotov cocktails, anti-tank artillery, when german tanks came, many soldiers, well, thank god, yes, let's go, well now we'll make them there , yes, that is, there was also such courage, from the first minutes of the offensive the german tanks began were blown up en masse by soviet mines, the germans tried to clear minefields with radio-controlled tankettes, but this did not help, soviet sappers made their way straight into the line of fire.

mine explosions are not an irretrievable loss, they are only damage to the chassis , but the tank does not move further, does not participate in battle, this is a conveyor belt, when german sappers are prohibited from working, machine gun and artillery fire force the tanks to fight their way through minefields, they are blown up, and after, again, someone broke through, they tried shoot on board, having suffered heavy losses in the first hours of the battle, the germans decided to attack the most vulnerable areas of the soviet defense, the model sent all available reserves to the area of ​​​​the village of alkhavatka and the panyri station. under

alkhovatka, the german column was met by soviet tanks hidden in trenches. the german advance was stopped. all remaining tigers and ferdinands were sent to break through the soviet defense at the panyri railway station. this village changed hands several times. here german tanks were surrounded by soviet artillery regiments. and were forced to begin regrouping. at this time, soviet guns shot them in their most vulnerable places. the main support in the north was artillery, a typical tactic based, among other things, on the active use of radio communications, this is to surround the head of the advancing german tank group from two sides, so to take

it in pincers. and here, under the panyrs on the northern front, where arkasovsky commanded, they knocked out this striking power in just a few days, 200 tanks remained up to the mountain, there on the northern front, the latest tanks, and the germans began go on the defensive.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story.

simultaneously with the attack in the north, from the south, from the direction of belgorod , army group south began an offensive under the command of manstein and hoth; it was opposed by votutin’s voronezh front, overcoming it.
