The Prochorovka myth

[Bear]

One potential fallacy of this report/study is that it relies mainly on German counts of tanks lost. I.e. the "Elefant" AG was involved at Kursk yet there is no reported losses. This alone creates a gap in the credibility of the report.

As is the usual case when studying/assessing Orders of Battle and losses etc in the War in Russia. It is safe to take the numbers offered by the Germans and Russians and find the mean difference or simply average them to come to a relative conclusion.

I often use Karl Schultz aka Paul Carell's trilogy:

1. Hitler's War on Russia
   
2. Scorched Earth
   
3. DER RUSSLANDKRIEG, Fotografiert von Soldaten
   

As the most reliable source and/or cross reference.

Have a great day!
