Answers
Answer:
When studying the battle for Kursk, one of the climactic engagements in the German-Soviet war (1941–1945), many authors have maintained that the Germans would have won the battle had they not delayed their attack from May until early July 1943.
Explanation:
After Kursk, the Germans in the East were on the defensive. They had lost the battle for several reasons, over-optimistic planning, a failure to appreciate that the Soviet air force had improved, and underestimated the Soviet defenses around Kursk.Field Marshal
And without Kursk the Red Army still launches their own offensive as they did historically. And even without the bogged down Kursk offensive, the Wehrmacht would have to work miracles to gain a defensive victory important enough that 44 would not be doomsyear.
