While many books have been written on this allegedly most decisive battle of the Second World War, many legends live on, above all because of misleading information that recur in most publications - even in the most recent ones. Based on almost 20 years of research reassessing the primary sources, Roman Toeppel sheds light on the phase of decision-making, the preparations and the development of the battle in an engaging style that grips the reader's attention from the first page on. The author concentrates on little-known developments and events leading the reader to astonishing results. He also gives entirely new insights into the historiographic appraisal of this battle, putting thoroughly researched facts against erroneous popular beliefs, myths and legends that have been passed down among historians for generations. 546 In English, translated from the German. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 Battle of Kursk|c(Russia :|d1943)|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/989444 647 7 World War|d(1939-1945)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1180924 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 Kursk, Battle of, Russia, 1943.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85073485 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xTank warfare.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85148504 650 7 Tank warfare.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1142710 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Straub, Katharina,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2018163178|etranslator. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTöppel, Roman.|sKursk 1943.
