SCENARIO OC-3
Kursk, Russia, 12 July 1943
Following the defeat and surrender of the German 6th Army
at Stalingrad, and the devastating battles for both sides that
followed, a lull settled along the Eastern Front in the Spring
of 1943. The massive salient the Soviets carved out of the Ger-
man lines centered on the town of Kursk became the focus for
the planned German counterattack.
