Some newly released/grouped info on the battle of Kursk to commemorate the end of it.

Interesting to see the pictures of artillery work in the area (especially on the Northern face near Ponyri station). Scroll down the page.

Great pictures. I counted 13 large penetrating rounds on the first tiger. The crew must have fought to the death or Soviet crews took pot shots at it.

Not all visible round hits are actually penetrations, and AT crew new it so they went on until the tank started to fall apart. Probably the distance was also considerable

Odd the Germans even considered using a the beutepanzer T-34(r) . Friendly fire risk would be very high.

beute panzer were widely used for front duties pretty much everywhere. There are a few more pictures in the same album with beute panzers

Great photos...thanks for sharing....and please share more if there are any.

My understanding is that tanks were hit...and hit...and hit till they caught fire
