From the beginning of the German offensive to the legendary tank battle of Prokhorovka and from the collapse of the operation "Citadel" to the victorious completion of operations "Kutuzov" and "Commander Rumyantsev" - the illustrated encyclopedia, written by the leading military historian, candidate of historical sciences A.V. Isaev, in all details restores the course of the Battle of Kursk.
The 50-day Battle of Kursk, which lasted from July 5 to August 23, 1943, truly became the general battle of the Great Patriotic War and has no equal in world history. About two million soldiers, six thousand tanks, four thousand airplanes participated in this grandiose confrontation. And the victory of the Red Army was not at all predictable and predetermined, as it may seem from the height of today - on the contrary, before the Arc of Fire the Soviet troops had never managed to defeat the "summer German", and Hitler had no doubts about the success of the "Citadel". The heavier was the defeat of the Wehrmacht and SS troops, after which the Third Reich forever lost its strategic initiative and any chance of survival.
