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.
