As a result of the defeat of the Wehrmacht forces in the Battle of Kursk, Germany was no longer able to conduct offensive operations on the Eastern Front. Soviet troops, building on their success, continued to liberate the country’s territory from the invaders. In addition, the German command had to transfer military units from other fronts to the Soviet-German front, which also contributed to the weakening of the German positions and the advance of the Allied forces.
For almost 50 days of the battle on the Kursk Bulge, hundreds of thousands of people died on both sides. The victory was given to the Red Army at the cost of huge losses – more than 800,000 people killed and wounded, more than 6,000 tanks and self-propelled guns, 5,000 guns and 1,600 aircraft.
According to Soviet data, the enemy lost about half a million people, 3,000 guns, 1,500 tanks and self-propelled guns, and more than 1,000 aircraft in the battle.
The Battle of Kursk still provides food for thought and investment of a tactical and strategic nature, being one of the greatest battles in the history of mankind.
