Good morning, Sam and Snippy! I hope you are doing well.
More illness in my family - the kids and I have been flat on our backs all weekend and I missed work yesterday. So thank you for an absorbing read today - I'm bookmarking this thread.
Sam, I'm curious as to your thoughts on the "re-evaluation" of the Prokhorovka battle. I know you and I have had this discussion before but it appears history may be written a little differently now.
More illness. Grrr.
Colonel, you are going to have to move to a warmer, sunnier climate!
Hope you are all well soon.

I believe Soviet losses were a lot higher than originally reported, but in the long run they could replace them. Could the Germans have won? I doubt it, they were bogged down in the North and even if they did manage to cut of the salient, I don't think they could have prevented the Soviets from breaking out from or into the pocket. They just didn't have the strength anymore.
