Hitker KNEW that he lost the war by december 1942 ( stalingrad) 3. US supplied Russia with 500,000 trucks ( forget the planes and the tanks, they were totally secondary) , while Hitler's army moved on horses. enough said Hitler never had a chance to win the war EVER even if he had taken Moscow in 1941 he could never cross the Urals and was doomed to defeat. Kinda the same for Japan and the US Whenever a strategy for attack is based on speed and quick resolution, it really means that the attacker recognizes that he does not have the stamina to stay in it for the long run Kursk in the end was just a photo-op so to speak for Hitler nothing else. only a couple of comments.

EVER
even if he had taken Moscow in 1941
he could never cross the Urals and was doomed to defeat.
Kinda the same for Japan and the US
Whenever a strategy for attack is based on speed and quick resolution, it really means that the attacker recognizes that he does not have the stamina to stay in it for the long run

Kursk in the end was just a photo-op so to speak for Hitler nothing else.

P. was just one battle in it second: P was a big german win, they killed estimated in a 20:1 ratio russian tanks But - these tanks wer not all KV1 and t34, they had lots of T70 and other light tanks. third: the germans had four tigers and 30 or less mark IV in that battle.... the russians around 350 tanks... next thing: it was an onesides massacre, russian tanks driven by inexperienced soldiers against dug in german grenadiers of 1. SS Division (Regiment Der Fuehrer) of the germans. Germans lost around 4 tanks totally and 16 or 18 tanks,but they could repair these... but the russian advance earned the russians some time also: no tiger got rammed by t34... that was a propaganda lie to cover the huge russian losses. the russians won this battle in the north, their counterattack at orel forced Model to stop his attacks in the north. But most important, the allied invasion in sicily caused hitler to panik (he wanted to withdraw 2.SS Panzerkorps to italy).... But this battle wasn´t even really costly for the russians... the 4th battle of charkow in august 43 was much more costly in tanks hi,

i think a lot guys need to read some more informations about the tankbattle of prohorovka…

first: Kursk was a big battle, with a northern and southern pincer.
P. was just one battle in it

second: P was a big german win, they killed estimated in a 20:1 ratio russian tanks
But – these tanks wer not all KV1 and t34, they had lots of T70 and other light tanks.
third: the germans had four tigers and 30 or less mark IV in that battle…. the russians around 350 tanks…

next thing: it was an onesides massacre, russian tanks driven by inexperienced soldiers against dug in german grenadiers of 1. SS Division (Regiment Der Fuehrer) of the germans. Germans lost around 4 tanks totally and 16 or 18 tanks,but they could repair these… but the russian advance earned the russians some time

Comparing the useless and feeble iraqui army to the russian or german forces is crazy . Considering the stakes in ww2 the american victory against iraq was comparable to a lion taking on an ant syop your cheerleading america your victorys lately have all been against small backwards forces not fit to even train for war forget fighting one The comments that 73 hastings was the greatest tank battle is again part of an american Bias that any us victory is the greatest is absolutely ludicrous ….
