The German offensive in the Kursk area did not work out as expected. Instead of the swift successes of earlier campaigns, the Germans found themselves fighting through a defensive area as tough as any on the Western Front in WWI. After three weeks of fighting, the Russians were still holding firm. Intelligence showed that the Russians had little in front of the 3rd SS Panzer, prompting an immediate attack in hopes of achieving the break through that had eluded the Germans. At the same time, though, the Russian 10th Guards Corps moved to reinforce that sector. The deadly collision between those two forces resulted in a victory decided by casualties inflicted rather than objectives captured.*
