Headline: "Russians Weigh Chances of German Offensive (by C.L. Sulzberger) – 24"

This article talks about a possible German offensive "in the center -- southwest of Moscow."
It also allows that Hitler "can no longer count on crushing superiority".

No mention of Kursk, which is directly south of Moscow...

BTW, what is CL Sulzberger's position at NY Times in 1943?
