0711_01: III Panzer Korps at the Apex - PzC 07 Kursk '43

Vorohnezh Front on the south face of the Kursk Bulge, July 11th 1943: After a week of trying, Army Detachment Kempf was finally able to penetrate through the dense fortifications of the Soviet 7th Guards Army. However, it could not yet perform its primary mission of right flank protection for the II SS Panzer Korps' drive on Prokhorovka. At dawn on the 11th, the 6th Panzer Div struck with Tigers of the 503rd Panzer Detachment, tearing through the 305th Rifle Division and lunging northward in dramatic fashion. There was new hope that they might fulfil their mission. [Size, small]
