Described pretty well by the late Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler in the above novel.

I agree, the T-34 was the best tank until the M-1 Abrams kissed the Iraqi battlefield. Things may be completely different now.

not the best book on the battle. SCORCHED EARTH by carrell starts off with kursk.

biggest tank battle of ww2 yes. biggest tank battle in history? no. '73 golan heights and sinai had more armored fighting vehicles. and if one cares to nitpick about IFVs not being tanks, than neither are SU-76s, SU-85s and STG-IIIs.
