Famous Quotes
| General Heinz Guderian | It is a matter of profound indifference to the world whether we hold Kursk or not. I repeat my question. Why do we want to attack in the East at all this year? |
| Adolf Hitler | You're quite right. Whenever I think of this attack my stomach turns over. |
| Adolf Hitler | Soldiers of the Reich! This day you are to take part in an offensive of such importance that the whole future of the war may depend on its outcome. More than anything else, your victory will show the world that resistance to the power of the German Army is hopeless. |
| General Georgy Zhukov | The battle fought in the Kursk, Orel, and Belgorod area was one of the most important engagements of the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War as a whole. Not only were the picked and most powerful groupings of the Germans destroyed here, but the faith of the German Army and the German people in the Nazi leadership and Germany's ability to withstand the growing might of the Soviet Union was irrevocably shattered. |
