Abstract:

The battle of Stalingrad ended in February 1943. Kursk battle began in July. On the Volga river was the beginning of a radical change in the course of the Second world war, the battle of Kursk "finally broken the back of the fascist beast" (use the usual verbal turnover to the Soviet classification). Between these two grandiose clashes between the two strongest armies of the time – five months. What are they marked by, these months, completely, it would seem, lost in the glare of the greatest battles of the war?

Keywords: Stages of the 2nd world war
