Soviet armored losses were staggering during their suicidal assaults upon the SS panzers at or around Prokhorovka. Despite the ultimate strategic outcome for the Germans, the Battle of Prochorovka was tremendous, one-sided tactical victory for the Waffen-SS panzers.
ReplyDeleteBefore Kursk, there were unofficial talks in Sweden about ending the war. Russian wanted the pre 1941 borders, Germany the Dnieper River. If that had happened, forget about Normandy. An extra year of German tank and aircraft production without Russian losses would probably have been more than they could have handled.
