🇩🇪❌🇷🇺📆 — OTD: Exactly 80 years ago today, one of the greatest battles in history commences, which would back then set the course of the most important war in modern history, the Battle of Kursk

— On this day, July 5, 1943, It will be the last great German offensive of WWII, a swansong for the Panzerwaffe that culminates in one of the most lopsided tank victories in history when the II SS Panzer Korps smashes the 5th Guards Tank Army of Red Army along the Psel River.

Ultimately, the offensive is called off at that point as the Allies invade Sicily and Soviet forces begin attacking at the Mius to the South and Orel to the North, paving the way for the Soviet forces to regain initiative to strike in southern Ukraine.

The Battle of Kursk to this day remains the largest tank battle in history
