On August 23, 1943, the Battle of Kursk ended - one of the key battles of World War II, resulting in a Soviet victory.
After the defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad, the German command planned to carry out a large-scale offensive using the latest tanks and aircraft to regain strategic advantage. Meanwhile, the Soviet forces were preparing to repel this attack, to weaken the enemy and complete its defeat. German and Soviet generals agreed on one thing - this battle was decisive, and their countries could not afford to lose it.
Lasting almost 50 days, the Battle of Kursk turned out to be one of the single largest battles of the World War II: it involved over 2 million soldiers, more than 4,000 aircraft, and about 6,000 tanks.
The victory in this battle came at a great cost to the USSR, but it put an end to large-scale German offensives and forced them on the defensive.
