… Is NOT The Biggest Tank Battle "The title of Martin Caidin's 1974 history of the Battle of Kursk is still evocative, with its imagery of Nazi Germany's vaunted Tiger tanks in flames. Tigers burning brightly are just one legend of the epic July 1943 battle between Germany and Russia. There are many more: The Greatest Tank Battle in History, the Turning Point of World War II, The Death Ride of the Panzers, Russian tanks ramming German tanks in a mechanized orgy of destruction….

All old news. The information about tank losses has been around for quite a while. Not that it has stopped people writing new books about it. Valeriy Zamulin has written 3 books on Kursk which have been published recently, which I haven't read yet, but look like interesting reads. |

Most US schools do a very poor job of teaching history. Most won't know anything about the Battle of Kursk. Or many other battles and wars for that matter. |
