Kursk's largest tank clash involved more armor units than the entire Western Front in 1940s Normandy combined.
The Soviets secretly established a nationwide ‘train of doom’ network to shuttle anti-tank ammunition near Kursk within days.
Radar-equipped Luftwaffe fighters failed to detect moving Soviet tanks until within 1,000 meters due to dense ground haze.
The battle shifted artillery doctrine: up to 70% of Soviet artillery were pre-sighted and remotely controlled from far behind the front.
