years’

a sapper unit which had been clearing paths! through minefields for tanks. Mr. Nichol The Russian army had expected the offensive against the Kursk salient for some time. as the Germans had been concentrating heavy forces in that area for several weeks. How successfully the Soviet forces used these weeks the Germans were to learn bitterly. Early morning of July 5 the Nazis opened an artillery barrage designed to cripple Soviet defenses. Instead, the Russian army guns thundered back a challenge yith the confidence based on two fighting experience, capped with such triumphs as Stalingrad. Instead of dominating the ‘field, about half the German battleries were silenced one after another. By the time the Nazi tanks rolled forward, Soviet gunners were able to bring down -a withering fire on them and on the infantry which followed. “rom the Soviet standpoint the ddyiruction they were able to wreak $n German batteries was important not only as one more step in the process of bleeding white Germany's reserves of manpower and material but alse because it shielaed the Rus-

and lighter tanks in the middle. After several devs of give-and-take fighting came three days which are described as the crisis of the whole battle. Apparently feeling that they had disorganized Russian defenses sufficiently to permit an all-out attack, they threw their full

force into an effort to capture a| line of low-lying hills west of the]

railroad which they wanted so badly. Seesaw Fighting

It was seesaw fighting but by the |

third night the Germans actually had reached their aim and held the hilltop. That night, the exhausted Nazis worked frantically digging in, trying to maintain the positions they had won at frightful cost. That night, too, the Russian army concentrated its own tank forces. Morning came misty and foggy and in that nightmare setting the German spearhead was crushed and the Nazis went tumbling back. Their 1943 summer offensive had failed. One interesting feature of the July battles, as the picture is only now emerging, was the apparent irability of the Germans to maintain aerial pressure, The first ‘two or three days they made as many as 3000 individual flights but that could not be continued. Replace-

. ment: simply did not seem availa-

ble. This was a new phenomenon on this front.
