In the summer of 1943, recoiling from defeat at Stalingrad, Hitler conducted a limited objective offensive to eliminate the Soviet Kursk salient. Operating a classic pincer attack of the kind that succeeded during the 1942 Kharkov campaign he hoped that the resulting heavy losses inflicted on the Red Army would give the Wehrmacht time to recover its strength. However, the Soviet anticipation of the attack led to extensive losses on both sides as Soviet anti-tank mines and fierce fighting pushed the Germans back, liberating the German-held Orel in the process. Focusing on the northern front of the battle with Generaloberst Walter Model's forces pitted against General Rokossovsky's Central Front between 5 July and 18 August, this volume will explore both the German offensive and the Soviet counteroffensive. Using documents from both sides, extensive photographs - both contemporary and modern, maps and bird's-eye-views this title will shed new light on this often ignored part of the battle.

IPMS/USA"Decidedly recommended reading." --Cybermodeler OnlinePrésentation de l'éditeurKursk 1943 focuses on the northern front and the battle of Kursk, and period of July 5th to August 18th, 1943, covering both the German offensive and the Soviet counteroffensive - Model's AOK 9 pitted against General Konstantin Rokossovsky's Central Front.After recovering from the Stalingrad debacle, Hitler intended to conduct a limited objective offensive (using the new Panther and Tiger tanks) in the summer of 1943 in order to eliminate the Soviet Kursk salient. He intended to conduct a classic pincer attack of the kind that succeeded during the 1942 Kharkov campaign and hoped that the resulting heavy loss of troops and material inflicted on the Red Army would give the Wehrmacht time to recover its strength. Hitler chose two of his best field commanders - Generalfeldmarschall Erich von Manstein and Generaloberst Walter Model - to lead the two pincers against the Kursk salient in Operation Zitadelle. Manstein would attack from the south with Heeresgruppe Süd, while Model attacked from the north with his heavily reinforced AOK 9.Model was not in favor of the offensive because he believed the Soviet defenses were too dense, but he dutifully mounted a full-scale offensive from 5 to 10 July 1943. Model's forces included two battalions of the new Ferdinand tank destroyers and a battalion of Tiger tanks, but were only capable of chewing its way through the first line of Soviet defenses. Although Model had failed to accomplish a breakthrough, his forces were far from spent. When the Soviets mounted their own Operation Kutusov to collapse the German-held Orel salient, Model had sufficient forces left to conduct a fighting retreat back to the Hagen Line. By 18 August 18th 1943, the Soviets had liberated Orel and pushed Model's forces back, but suffered over 400,000 casualties and the loss of 2,500 tanks. The Germans had succeeded in gaining a tactical victory that mauled three Soviet tank armies, although the Red Army had achieved an operational-level victory by liberating Orel.Biographie de l'auteurRobert Forczyk has a PhD in International Relations and National Security from the University of Maryland and a strong background in European and Asian military history.

Vous pouvez considérer cela avant de décider d'acheter / lire ce livre.0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.un court mais utile livre introductif à cette bataillePar MARDUKDans ce court livre au format Osprey, Robert Forczyk résume de façon utile les affrontements ayant lieu sur le front nord de la bataille de Koursk avant de résumer rapidement la bataille d'Orel en juillet/août 1943.Le livre commence par résumer le contexte de la bataille puis présente ( de façon classique pour un ouvrage Osprey ) les généraux et les armées en présence avant de présenter dans 2 chapitres distincts l'assaut allemand vers Koursk à partir de la face nord du front puis la contre-offensive soviétique contre le saillant d'Orel.L'auteur fait un effort réel de présenter de façon concise les opérations terrestres et aériennes avec un point de vue plutôt allemand que soviétique.Outre une description correcte des principales opérations de ces 2 opérations, l'autre intérêt majeur de cet ouvrage tient à la réévaluation de la stratégie de Model : l'auteur démontre de façon convaincante que Model n'a jamais tenté de percer et de prendre Koursk mais a plutôt tenté d'engager Rokossovki dans un combat d'attrition afin de neutraliser le front "Centre" avant de se retourner contre les fronts "Ouest" et "Briansk", anticipant leur inévitable contre-attaque.Au final, un ouvrage certes non indispensable mais utile à la fois pour les connaisseurs de la bataille et les néophytes
