Historical Background On July 12, 1943, one of the largest tank battles in history took place near the small Russian village of Prokhorovka, during the Kursk Offensive. The battle was a critical part of the larger Battle of Kursk, as the German forces sought to encircle and destroy the Soviet forces. The German 4th Panzer Army, commanded by General Hoth, aimed to break through the Soviet defenses with over 500 tanks, including the formidable Tigers and Panthers. Facing them was the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army under General Rotmistrov, with around 800 tanks, including the reliable T-34s. As the German forces advanced, the Soviet tanks charged into the fray, engaging in close-quarters combat. The battle was brutal and chaotic, with tanks clashing at point-blank range, while artillery and aircraft added to the destruction. Despite initial German gains, the Soviet forces held their ground, and the Germans were unable to achieve a decisive breakthrough. By the end of the day, both sides had suffered heavy losses, but the Soviet defense had blunted the German offensive. The failure to achieve victory at Prokhorovka marked the turning point of the Battle of Kursk, and the Germans were forced to retreat. The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
