Here it is! The long-awaited Battle of Prokhorovka video is finally out, and a few hours earlier than per usual! It took me longer than expected to make the video because a lot of the sources were contradicting. Several sources mentioned different dates, different unit positions or actual units. But, after figuring out the most plausible option I have come up with this video! So I hope you’ll enjoy! - The AceDestroyer

A spot on analysis here. Again, an excellent viewpoint of this key battle in the Kursk Zitadelle Operation young man! Manstein's thought analysis was also hindered by a lack of good field intelligence. Had he gotten the 24th PZ Corps' aide, he would have had another 3 defensive belts to get thru (Soviet defense was six belts deep, some 300km back from the front). With Model's northern pincer halted, even with the best of intentions, Manstein couldn't have completed the encirclement, thus even on such wistful thinking by 20/20 hindsight generals today, Zitadelle was a failure, and remains a failed gambit of the OKW-Heere. Bravo!

'Die Hölle von Kursk: SS-Grenadiere 1943 im Kampf', by Kurt Pfötsch provides a very good look at the Battle of Prokhorovka from the perspective of an SS Mann serving in the LAH. The scope of his experience during the Kursk action is limited to what his SS Schar lives through on the ground- the only outside information they gain of the wider battle is gleaned from their Kradmelder, so the reader can truly experience a bottom-up view of the fighting. He breaks down the battle day by day, so there is a detailed account of what his squad experiences on July 12th. I highly recommend this book to you and all others who are interested in the Battle of Prokhorovka. Thank you for the video- great work as usual. Your footage, maps and recounting of this battle are all excellent. Weiter so! :)

As a combat vet who has now had some decades to study history, I will say with much enthusiasm that any commander who launches an attack which the enemy is known to be aware of is a fool, and his troops will always suffer needlessly. While planning is never a bad idea, the longer you wait to actually launch the advance will see more losses than if an attack had been initiated as soon as possible to the initial contact with the enemy. Too, the luxury of "time" is relative to the size of the enemy force. Five minutes to attack for an enemy squad size, perhaps fifteen for a company size unit, etc.

In this battle, Soviet lost 500 tanks out of 800 (60%). The Germans lost 300 tanks out of 400 (75%). For them it was a disaster. Now the most powerful strike force of the Germans was drained of blood. General G. Guderian, at that time the inspector general of the tank forces of the Wehrmacht, wrote: “The armored forces, replenished with such great difficulty, were out of order for a long time due to heavy losses in people and equipment ... and already more in the East there were no quiet days at the front"

The Luftwaffe was the bigger story. It burned through its avgas reserves at a shocking clip. The Soviets simply 'out gassed' the Germans. So even though the Luftwaffe shot down scads of Red aircraft, eventually it was grounded for lack of fuel -- the intensity was that great. This grand battle was also the site of the first use of cluster bombs -- by the Luftwaffe. The Red Army took horrific casualties from them as no-one realized that their blast pattern would cover such a wide area. The Ost Heer lost the gasoline war, before they lost the combat war. BTW, Hitler pulled out the equivalent of one panzer army and one infantry army, from Russia, so as to hang on to Italy. Had he not done so, the Anglo-Allies would've been marching up the Alps in short order. This strategic shift is why the Anglo-Allies had a profound impact on the Eastern Campaign. Hitler permanently lost any initiative in the East.

The Germans lost 760 damaged tanks at the railheads, when they were overrun by the Russians, after the battle of Kursk. 156 of them were to new Panthers. These losses were never added to German losses during the battle, only a few months later to total losses on the front [1300 for July/Aug 1943] so we get a false casualty figures by the Germans. Also the Germans stated the thousands HIWIS ran off! when they were actually drafted into the combat units during the battle. So these men took up the ration strength to skew the figures. Oh and look how many German anti-tank guns were knocked out during the Russian Tank attack.... one SS DIV lost all of them.
