A significant turning point of World War II, the battle of Kursk in the summer of 1943 was the Germans? last major offensive on the Eastern Front. Marked by pitched clashes between German Tiger tanks and Soviet T-34s, the engagement began well enough for the Germans, but the Soviets delayed them long enough to bring their reserves forward, counterattack, and force Hitler to call off the attack. Hundreds of thousands lay dead or wounded on both sides, but the Soviets won the battle and seized the initiative for the rest of the war. About the Author: Walter S. Dunn Jr. is the author of Stalin's Keys to Victory (978-0-8117-3423-3), Soviet Blitzkrieg (978-0-8117-3482-0), and Hitler's Nemesis (978-0-2759-4-8948). He lives in Wisconsin.
