The '''Battle of Kursk''' in 1943 was the largest [[tank]] battle in [[history]].  It was between the [[German]] [[Wehrmacht]] and the [[USSR|Soviet]] [[Red Army]]. German forces attempted to encircle Soviet forces in the Kursk Salient on the eastern front, but strong Soviet resistance defeated the German assault. Kursk was the last German offensive of any strategic significance in the east; henceforth, they would conduct a fighting retreat.
