Battle of Kursk
The Battle of Kursk (or Kursk Campaign, July 4, 1943 – July 20, 1943), also called Operation Zitadelle by the German Army (Operation Citadel in English), was a significant (deliberate) defensive battle strategy on the Soviets' part in the Eastern Theater during World War II. Having good intelligence on Hitler's intentions, the Soviets established and managed to conceal elaborate layered defense works, mine fields, and stage and disguise large reserve forces poised for a tactical and strategic counterattack end game typical of defensive battle plans.
