at first they called him an elephant places of drawing
00:00:57
animals on the armor
00:01:01
but soon they learned the real name tiger a
00:01:07
new German tank captured near
00:01:10
Leningrad was carefully studied at a training
00:01:13
ground near Moscow the
00:01:14
test results were discouraging even
00:01:18
from 200 meters the Soviet
00:01:20
thirty-four gun
00:01:21
was not pierced the frontal armor of a tiger,
00:01:24
only clumsy heavy guns could cope with the strange beast,
00:01:27
but this was on
00:01:32
a training ground
00:01:33
and in a real battle their chances of success
00:01:35
decreased
00:01:36
during the meeting with Stalin in the oppressive
00:01:40
silence the words of Marshal of Artillery Voronovo were clearly heard
00:01:44
we do not have guns capable of successfully
00:01:47
fighting these tanks In April
00:01:51
1943, the front from Ladoga to the Sea of ​​Azov
00:01:54
froze in anticipation of the summer. For
00:01:56
two years, the Red Army, at the cost of heavy
00:01:58
losses,
00:01:59
trained the 5-year-old Germans and now
00:02:02
had to show all their achievements.
00:02:04
Not the appearance of new heavy
00:02:07
tanks made one doubt
00:02:10
whether the Soviet defense would withstand the enemy’s attack
00:02:13
[music ]
00:02:18
you tank and anti-tank guns,
00:02:20
hastily developed by Soviet
00:02:22
designers
00:02:23
for the summer battles, clearly did not have time for
00:02:28
the front to stop, but the Soviet
00:02:30
command was already making plans for the
00:02:32
summer,
00:02:37
special attention was paid to the Kursk area
00:02:39
where the troops of the central and Voronezh
00:02:41
fronts
00:02:42
wedged themselves deeply into the German defenses,
00:02:44
forming the so-called Kursk salient, the
00:02:48
Soviet General Staff assumed that it was
00:02:51
here from the south and north that the Germans would strike the
00:02:54
next blow and try to encircle the
00:02:56
troops of the Red Army to prevent
00:02:59
this, a decision was made to create enemy units in the
00:03:02
area of ​​powerful defensive fortifications of the
00:03:05
Ismatians in defensive
00:03:08
battles because he planned to launch his
00:03:10
own offensive; the correctness
00:03:13
of this assumption was soon confirmed by
00:03:16
reports Soviet intelligence certificate on
00:03:19
April 12, 1943 on Stalin's desk
00:03:23
tix directives in the operation plan citadel of the
00:03:26
German high command the data
00:03:30
was received from an intelligence officer working
00:03:33
under the pseudonym verder the real name of
00:03:35
this person is still unknown it is
00:03:37
assumed that he was an employee of the
00:03:39
Wehrmacht high command his
00:03:42
information got to Moscow through the
00:03:44
agent Lucia Rudolf, who worked in Switzerland,
00:03:47
on the wrestler,
00:03:49
the plan for the German operation citadel
00:03:51
fully met the expectations of the Soviet
00:03:53
command; the Germans planned to cut off the
00:03:56
Kursk ledge with two strikes in the
00:03:58
converging directions of the north and south; the
00:04:01
northern front of the arc was to attack the
00:04:04
army group center
00:04:06
and the southern troops of the army group south at the beginning of
00:04:12
the month the
00:04:13
headquarters warned fronts, according to some
00:04:16
data, the enemy may go on the
00:04:18
offensive in the Oryol-Kursk
00:04:20
or Belgorod Oboyan direction
00:04:22
or in both directions at once, but so far the
00:04:26
guns were silent 2 weeks after
00:04:29
signing the order to start the offensive,
00:04:32
Hitler held a final meeting
00:04:34
unexpectedly many German generals
00:04:37
opposed the operation
00:04:39
openly objected to the Fuhrer Field Marshal Hans
00:04:43
Gunther von Kluge, who at that
00:04:45
time commanded Army Group Center General Model,
00:04:48
in turn, provided
00:04:50
aerial reconnaissance data,
00:04:51
it was his troops who had to storm the
00:04:53
Kursk ledge from the north, the module proved
00:04:57
that in these sectors of the front
00:04:59
the Russians had prepared a deep, carefully
00:05:01
organized defense
00:05:03
Voltaire modules Field Marshal General,
00:05:06
nickname of Hitler's firefighters appointed to
00:05:09
problem areas of the front, a devout Nazi
00:05:12
known for his personal devotion to the Fuhrer from
00:05:15
August 1944, commanded the western
00:05:18
direction,
00:05:19
being surrounded at the end of the war,
00:05:21
shot himself in the forest near Duisburg,
00:05:25
the module was one of those who enjoyed the
00:05:27
unconditional respect of the Fuhrer,
00:05:29
he was called a genius of defense, but the soldiers and
00:05:33
commanders of the Ninth Army did not have the module
00:05:36
experience of a major offensive, many
00:05:38
believed that the general was not even seeking a
00:05:40
postponement but a cancellation of the operation; the module
00:05:44
believed that the Soviet troops would launch the
00:05:45
offensive first and then he would plunge
00:05:48
into the element of defense that was familiar to him; Guderian also
00:05:54
expressed his doubts about the success of the citadel;
00:05:56
he was appointed inspector of
00:05:58
tank forces and, like no one knew that the
00:06:01
tank units of Germany were not yet ready
00:06:04
for such a large operation, in his opinion,
00:06:06
this idea was too risky, the
00:06:10
war was pumping out the last resource from Germany
00:06:13
and the success of the citadel would allow
00:06:15
maintaining the strategic initiative on the
00:06:17
eastern front, but its failure could
00:06:20
lead to simply irreparable losses
00:06:23
four of agreed to postpone the start
00:06:26
operations for a month with the words of
00:06:28
failure should not have been
00:06:31
consoled by Hitler's dream that the delay in
00:06:33
the start of the offensive would make it possible to introduce
00:06:36
more of the latest equipment into battle; information
00:06:40
besides tigers on the Kursk Bulge; the
00:06:43
debut of new medium Panther tanks and
00:06:45
heavy self-propelled guns was planned; Ferdinand;
00:06:47
attack anti-tank
00:06:49
aviation based on the Focke-Wulf fighter was being strengthened
00:06:52
190, an attack aircraft version was developed
00:06:55
to support ground forces; the
00:06:57
dive bomber Ju-87 was
00:07:00
armed with 37 mm cannons;
00:07:03
firing was carried out with shells with
00:07:05
tungsten cores;
00:07:07
and the ability to attack an armored
00:07:09
target from above contributed to the success of
00:07:11
attacking tanks near Kursk;
00:07:14
four of the five
00:07:15
squadrons of Henschel attack aircraft were transferred and also
00:07:18
designed to fight tanks, and
00:07:20
so the citadel was postponed for a month,
00:07:24
Soviet troops received several
00:07:26
weeks to prepare the defense;
00:07:30
during this time, the fields near Kursk were
00:07:32
turned into a real fortress
00:07:34
on each front; on each front, they created three
00:07:37
defense lines with minefields, firing
00:07:39
points, artillery positions,
00:07:41
only a lack of powerful anti-tank
00:07:43
guns were
00:07:44
still a cause for concern;
00:07:47
about half of the Soviet
00:07:50
anti-tank batteries
00:07:51
were armed with 45-mm
00:07:53
cannons; they were practically powerless against the new
00:07:56
German tanks; Soviet
00:07:59
76-mm caliber guns could hit the tiger’s armor at
00:08:02
only 300,400 meters, while the tiger
00:08:05
destroyed the cannon from a distance of two
00:08:07
kilometers stopped in the forty-first
00:08:09
year, the technologically complex production of
00:08:11
50 seven-millimeter anti-tank
00:08:14
guns ZIS-2 was resumed;
00:08:16
these guns penetrated even the frontal armor of
00:08:18
tigers from a distance of more than a kilometer above the
00:08:21
beginning of the battle on the Kursk Bulge; there
00:08:23
was still no shortage of powerful
00:08:27
anti-tank guns at the front; it was compensated by the
00:08:29
use of new battle tactics in In defense,
00:08:33
anti-tank guns
00:08:35
used to line up in one line along the front,
00:08:37
but the experience of battles showed that it was more effective
00:08:40
to place them in groups,
00:08:42
so the basis of the defense on the Kursk Bulge
00:08:45
became anti-tank strongholds,
00:08:49
each point had up to twenty
00:08:51
anti-tank guns and several
00:08:53
dozen anti-tank rifles, each
00:08:56
anti-tank gun had several positions
00:08:59
for firing in all directions
00:09:01
[music] the
00:09:03
distance between strong points
00:09:05
was no more than six hundred eight hundred
00:09:07
meters if enemy tanks tried to
00:09:10
break through between strong points guns
00:09:12
fired at their thin side armor
00:09:15
the construction of strong points trenches
00:09:18
shelters required enormous physical
00:09:21
labor of the soldiers who had to
00:09:25
defend themselves here
00:09:27
anti-tank commander badigin guns for a 45
00:09:31
mm cannon
00:09:32
and to dig you need to remove about 30 cubic meters of
00:09:34
earth
00:09:35
and 76 millimeters already 56 cubic meters were dug
00:09:40
as much as a dozen people may not
00:09:42
have to dig up in their entire life certificate
00:09:46
only in the Voronezh front
00:09:48
4200 kilometers of trenches and communication passages were dug
00:09:51
for comparison this is more than the
00:09:54
distance from Moscow to Madrid in the
00:09:57
central front zone, this figure was
00:09:59
5,000 kilometers,
00:10:00
two thousand kilometers of
00:10:03
roads were built, 686 bridges were restored and rebuilt
00:10:05
in just two or three months,
00:10:09
railway troops delivered
00:10:11
more than 300 thousand wagons with equipment
00:10:14
and cargo to Kursk, an
00:10:15
unprecedented, truly gigantic event was being prepared a
00:10:18
battle in which
00:10:21
more than two million people participated on both sides;
00:10:24
as part of the army group
00:10:28
south of Kursk there were 445 thousand
00:10:31
people and 1500 tanks; they were opposed by the
00:10:35
Voronezh front of Vatutin
00:10:37
626 thousand people 1700 tanks; the
00:10:42
army group center in the north numbered
00:10:45
300 32 thousand people and thousands of tanks and
00:10:49
self-propelled guns guns aimed at her, the
00:10:53
central front of Rokossovsky
00:10:55
had 712 thousand people and 1800 tanks
00:11:00
[music]
00:11:01
in addition, at the base of the Kursk ledge
00:11:03
there were positions of Soviet reserves
00:11:06
united in the steppe front under the
00:11:09
command of Konev
00:11:11
Rokossovsky in the north was in a more
00:11:14
advantageous position
00:11:15
tank was dangerous here only
00:11:17
90 km corridor in the forests of the
00:11:19
northern front of the Kursk arc,
00:11:22
Vatutin’s armies, on the contrary, occupied positions in the
00:11:24
steppe open area here the
00:11:27
Germans had complete freedom in choosing
00:11:29
the direction of attack
00:11:31
Nikolai Fedorovich Vatutin, general of the army,
00:11:34
one of the most talented Soviet
00:11:36
commanders,
00:11:37
his ability to think through operations to the
00:11:40
smallest detail was highly appreciated by the
00:11:42
enemy, German commanders called a
00:11:45
general chess player or grandmaster
00:11:47
died from wounds received in an accidental
00:11:49
shootout with members of the Ukrainian
00:11:51
insurgent army in February 1944,
00:11:56
Vatutin’s disaster was the offensive,
00:11:58
his finest hour was the Uranus operation to
00:12:01
encircle the Stalingrad group,
00:12:03
now, ironically, he
00:12:07
was to command the front in
00:12:09
the largest defensive operation, the
00:12:12
days passed and the German offensive everything has never
00:12:15
started
00:12:16
before; the Soviet units did not have
00:12:18
so much time to prepare for battle and
00:12:21
they did not waste it; they
00:12:26
installed up to a thousand mines of all
00:12:29
types around each anti-tank stronghold; the 2nd and 3rd defense lines were
00:12:33
not mined so densely, however they were supplemented by
00:12:36
mobile detachments of sappers with mines on
00:12:38
trucks and horse-drawn carts, their task
00:12:41
was to carry out so-called
00:12:43
impudent mining,
00:12:44
that is, to place mines directly in the path
00:12:46
of breaking through tanks from the memoirs of a
00:12:50
German general in the form of a tape; the
00:12:53
speed with which they laid
00:12:55
mines was amazing;
00:12:57
in two or three days, the Russians managed to
00:12:59
place over 30 thousand by soldiers were
00:13:06
trained to fight tanks
00:13:07
in order to get rid of the fear of tanks, young soldiers
00:13:10
were put in trenches over which
00:13:13
Soviet T-34s passed,
00:13:17
mortarman Mansur Abdullin, they ironed us every
00:13:20
day, our T-34s learned to throw
00:13:23
bottles of fuel, anti-tank
00:13:25
grenades,
00:13:26
instructions on how to fight German tanks were printed and distributed
00:13:34
artillery units selected
00:13:36
fighters who had achieved success in the fight against
00:13:39
German tanks; they were appointed
00:13:41
platoon commanders in new
00:13:43
units; crews who had been
00:13:46
defeated in battles with tanks on the contrary
00:13:48
were withdrawn to the rear units; for
00:13:51
two months, a real hunt was carried out for
00:13:54
cannon snipers; the best
00:13:58
gunners were invited to
00:14:00
anti-tank fighter regiments
00:14:01
by order their rates increased their
00:14:04
salary and sing
00:14:06
[music]
00:14:08
gunners practice shooting at
00:14:11
moving mock-ups of tigers achieved
00:14:13
the highest skill by
00:14:15
hitting the
00:14:17
commander's turret
00:14:19
or the driver's viewing device from a cannon with a cannon; anti-
00:14:23
aircraft batteries of 85 mm guns
00:14:27
were transferred to cover particularly important
00:14:29
directions from tank attacks
00:14:31
to fire at aircraft they were forbidden
00:14:35
four artillery regiments armed with
00:14:37
German
00:14:39
anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns captured at Stalingrad
00:14:43
for self-propelled artillery units
00:14:46
Su-122 new
00:14:48
cumulative shells began to arrive capable of penetrating
00:14:51
up to 130 millimeters of armor help them
00:14:55
cumulative shells inside have a
00:14:57
special recess
00:14:58
covered with a thin metal lining
00:15:00
after When shells hit a tank inside a
00:15:03
charge, a detonation wave occurs
00:15:05
that moves at a speed of 10
00:15:08
kilometers per second, narrowing to a size of
00:15:10
less than a millimeter, while the tank
00:15:13
armor is exposed to a pressure of explosion products of up to
00:15:16
100 thousand kilograms per square
00:15:17
centimeter,
00:15:19
this significantly exceeds the
00:15:20
yield strength of any metal, including
00:15:23
armor, which ensures its destruction Soviet
00:15:27
aviation received a new aerial bomb ptab
00:15:29
also with a cumulative effect. Previously,
00:15:33
the bombing of tanks was carried out with
00:15:34
powerful 50-kilogram single
00:15:37
bombs and it was ineffective;
00:15:40
hitting such a
00:15:42
small target as a tank with a bomb from the air is very difficult; the
00:15:44
new bomb weighed only one and a half
00:15:47
kilograms but penetrated armor up to 100
00:15:49
millimeters the armor of the tank in the upper part is
00:15:52
weaker and the hit of even one such
00:15:55
bomb was enough to disable
00:15:57
any enemy tank; they placed bombs in a
00:16:00
container and 48 pieces each; an IL-2 attack aircraft
00:16:03
took four such containers; simply by
00:16:06
scattering bombs over the column, one plane
00:16:09
could destroy all the tanks in an area of ​​15
00:16:12
at 200 meters, on Stalin's orders, the presence of
00:16:16
these bombs was kept strictly secret until the
00:16:18
very beginning of the tank. The
00:16:20
battle on the Kursk Bulge by July, on
00:16:23
the front, waiting
00:16:25
turned from anxious to painful. Vatutin
00:16:28
suggested not to wait, but to attack himself; he
00:16:31
literally persuaded Vasilevsky to
00:16:33
simply and miss the moment; opponents are
00:16:37
coming soon autumn and all our plans will
00:16:39
fail, let's stop digging in and
00:16:42
start first, but in response we invariably
00:16:46
received a refusal, the tension grew in the
00:16:50
accidentally shot down German plane,
00:16:52
the scouts found a cap, as if you were in the woolen
00:16:55
positions of the Soviet defense,
00:16:58
the deployment had to be urgently changed and
00:17:00
then from the plane we checked the thoroughness of the
00:17:02
camouflage
00:17:04
[music]
00:17:06
insert into for the third time she warned the troops
00:17:09
about the imminent German offensive at the headquarters and
00:17:12
tension was growing on the front line, how even
00:17:15
the Germans would begin, was the
00:17:16
reconnaissance lion mistaken by the small
00:17:20
scout of the 222nd Guards Rifle
00:17:23
Regiment, that the German offensive would soon begin,
00:17:26
all parts of
00:17:29
the division were clearly felt in a state of heightened
00:17:31
combat readiness
00:17:32
at all observation points
00:17:34
around the clock there were an
00:17:36
artillery officer who was pulled up to the front
00:17:38
line and the reconnaissance division
00:17:40
gave the order to take the tongue at all
00:17:43
costs
00:17:46
in the next night battle the tongue
00:17:48
turned out to be a German sapper Bruno in uniform who
00:17:50
was removing mines on the front line
00:17:54
[music]
00:18:00
during the interrogation he very frankly
00:18:02
told the German troops were brought into
00:18:05
full combat readiness and on July 5 at 2:00
00:18:08
European time they will
00:18:09
go on the offensive in the general
00:18:11
direction of the course at the same time
00:18:13
the offensive will begin and in the Kursk
00:18:15
direction from the Belgorod area until the
00:18:17
indicated hour there were already a few
00:18:21
minutes left for the Germans to prepare a surprise
00:18:24
artillery counter preparation instead of
00:18:27
waiting in silence enemy strike
00:18:29
Soviet artillery, according to the plan,
00:18:32
was supposed to hit the supposed
00:18:33
concentrations of German troops ready to
00:18:36
attack, having received information from sappers, the army
00:18:39
immediately made a decision on the July
00:18:43
night, volleys of gun shots broke out, it was
00:18:45
not possible to predict the
00:18:48
places where the Germans were concentrated,
00:18:50
but a hail of shells was inevitably found
00:18:53
in the report of one of the local divisions
00:18:56
recorded the enemy settled with fire all the enemies
00:18:59
that could be used
00:19:01
as approaches
00:19:03
and continuing to build a bridge for the tigers was out of
00:19:05
the question; the
00:19:08
navigator of the Il-4 bomber, Lieutenant
00:19:10
Roshchenko,
00:19:11
recalled that before we
00:19:12
began, we saw that
00:19:15
something unimaginable had begun on the front line, it was
00:19:18
going on on both sides intense shooting
00:19:20
in places fires were blazing before the
00:19:23
Soviet guns had time to fall silent when the air
00:19:26
was filled with the whistling of
00:19:27
German shells of powerful artillery
00:19:29
bombardment of the enemy,
00:19:31
it was necessary to break into the Soviet defenses, which had
00:19:33
been built for several months, a reconnaissance
00:19:38
only Maliki, with the roar of explosions,
00:19:40
disrupted us in the Russian dugout, forced us to
00:19:43
grab our machine guns and rush to the
00:19:45
exit to the gate, the cracks between
00:19:49
Fire and smoke and earth were rushing through the trenches and headquarters dugouts. The
00:19:52
enemy's artillery barrage continued for more than an hour,
00:19:54
then the cannonade began to subside and, under
00:19:57
the cover of a smoke screen, the Nazis
00:19:58
launched an assault
00:20:02
[music]
00:20:07
to you and the divisions of the air armies, parts of the
00:20:10
infantry,
00:20:12
all the military power that had been accumulating
00:20:14
near Kursk for several months came to
00:20:16
movement
00:20:18
began the battle which the German
00:20:20
General von Mehl Entin called the greatest
00:20:23
tank battle in the history of wars, all the most
00:20:28
modern types of weapons of that time
00:20:30
were thrown into battle
00:20:34
to make passages in the minefields,
00:20:36
the Germans used
00:20:38
radio-controlled wedges, they pulled a
00:20:41
coupling of several heavy gears,
00:20:43
which, when running into mines, provoked their
00:20:46
explosion or they were loaded with powerful charges of
00:20:49
explosives that
00:20:50
destroyed mines and immediately
00:20:52
cleared a large area in such a way that Ferdinand, who was healthy for
00:20:54
self-propelled guns, was following behind,
00:20:57
however, during the break, explosions in the field,
00:20:59
safe roads were not visible,
00:21:01
Ferdinand lost their way and were
00:21:03
blown up one after another
00:21:05
[music]
00:21:10
anti-tank mines tore the tracks and
00:21:13
Soviet cannons smashed the chassis of
00:21:15
heavy vehicles
00:21:17
in the evening of the first day of the offensive, already
00:21:19
half of Ferdinand Fu was out of action
00:21:21
[music]
00:21:28
on the southern front,
00:21:30
heavy artillery fire also fell on the German tigers and panthers, making it difficult to clear mines, the
00:21:35
tiger was blown up by mines and failed
00:21:38
even with unpierced armor
00:21:43
In the zone of the German offensive, the Germans were met with 500
00:21:46
kilometers of anti-tank ditches
00:21:48
so that tanks could overcome them,
00:21:50
it was necessary to undermine the walls of these ditches with
00:21:53
precise strikes from aerial bombs from dive
00:21:56
bombers. The former ease of
00:21:59
blitzkrieg was no longer there. German tank
00:22:02
and infantry divisions were
00:22:03
literally stuck in a labyrinth of stripes in
00:22:06
Soviet fortifications, having destroyed one
00:22:09
anti-tank artillery point.
00:22:11
tanks immediately came under
00:22:13
fire from another in the reports of
00:22:15
German units the
00:22:16
phrases were stopped dug in
00:22:22
German General von Melentyev should be
00:22:26
emphasized the
00:22:27
artificial camouflage of the Russians, not a
00:22:29
single minefield,
00:22:31
not a single anti-tank area
00:22:33
could be discovered until the
00:22:35
first tank was blown up by a mine or
00:22:38
opened fire the first Russian
00:22:39
anti-tank gun
00:22:42
[music]
00:22:45
however, the combat experience of the Germans and their new
00:22:48
equipment still did their job, they
00:22:51
began to concentrate forces in narrow
00:22:53
areas, the German tank units
00:22:56
acted in battle formations, the wedge of its
00:22:59
tip
00:23:00
was formed by heavy tigers, which were
00:23:02
destined to destroy the Soviet
00:23:04
anti-tank defense, followed by
00:23:06
medium and light tanks, having punched even a small
00:23:09
gap in the Soviet defense, the Germans did their
00:23:12
best and expanded
00:23:13
on the first day of the battle,
00:23:16
Manstein’s group was supported by almost 400
00:23:18
aircraft, a
00:23:19
hail of air bombs knocked out one
00:23:22
anti-tank strong point after another,
00:23:24
with the help of aviation, the Germans punched through
00:23:27
corridors and in minefields the dropped
00:23:30
bombs forced the minute to tint and steam the
00:23:32
cleared corridors,
00:23:34
German tanks rushed
00:23:36
all this required a huge mass of equipment
00:23:39
and ammunition,
00:23:40
but the Germans did not spare either one or the other,
00:23:43
rightly calculating that beyond the
00:23:45
minefields there would be less of the first line of
00:23:49
Soviet defense, the
00:23:50
tank corps passed through in just 17
00:23:53
hours to stop the German tanks
00:23:57
Vatutin decided to throw his
00:24:00
tank reserves towards them, the
00:24:02
strongest of them was the first tank
00:24:05
army, Katukov,
00:24:06
the first clashes with the advancing
00:24:08
new German tanks discouraged
00:24:12
Katukov, he recalled the report of the commander of one
00:24:15
of the advanced brigades of his army,
00:24:17
Burda began to tell in their sector
00:24:20
the enemy attacked continuously, 50 tanks were in front, 100
00:24:23
tanks were in front of the tiger and panther and
00:24:27
it’s difficult with them, comrade commander, you hit
00:24:30
them and the shells ricochet off,
00:24:32
well,
00:24:33
what are the results of the battle losses, terrible
00:24:36
losses, comrade commander,
00:24:37
60 percent of the brigade,
00:24:41
reference to the
00:24:42
Soviet tank T-34 76 that fought in the summer of
00:24:46
forty-three near Kursk, in order
00:24:48
to hit the tiger you had to
00:24:50
get close to the enemy at a distance of 500
00:24:52
meters and hit the thin side
00:24:54
armor of the German Tiger and Panther tanks could
00:24:57
penetrate even the frontal armor of the T-34 76 from a
00:25:01
distance of more than two kilometers, the
00:25:03
huge losses of the army forced Katukov to
00:25:06
express his doubts to Vatutin, but there was
00:25:09
no answer;
00:25:11
reluctantly, Katukov continued to
00:25:13
gather forces for rushing forward when a
00:25:17
telephone call was heard at his headquarters, Stalin asked
00:25:21
to speak out about possible options for the
00:25:23
actions of the
00:25:24
Katuks, he suggested using tanks to
00:25:26
fire from the spot from ambushes, so that by
00:25:29
allowing enemy vehicles at a distance of 300 to
00:25:31
400 meters to destroy them with targeted
00:25:34
fire, Stalin was silent for some time,
00:25:38
well, he finally said, you should launch
00:25:42
counterattacks you won’t,
00:25:44
Katukov’s tanks took up defense next to the
00:25:47
artillery and infantry,
00:25:52
General Kravchenko’s Stalingrad Guards Tank Corps, located in a neighboring sector, acted
00:25:55
exactly on Vatutino’s orders
00:25:58
with authority from the army commander,
00:26:01
Colonel Nikiforov arrived to the general,
00:26:03
who, threatening with weapons,
00:26:05
demanded to go on a counterattack, German
00:26:08
tanks had to be stopped at any cost
00:26:12
straightforward execution of orders
00:26:14
led to tragic consequences.
00:26:15
Kravchenko’s corps went on the attack, but the Germans
00:26:18
bypassed it from the flanks and closed the circle
00:26:22
from complete defeat. The corps was saved only
00:26:24
by the fact that the encirclement turned out to be
00:26:26
loose at night. Kravchenko’s tanks, having lost
00:26:30
more than half of their vehicles, were able to
00:26:32
fight their way to their own
00:26:34
in the north. Rokossov’s also gave the
00:26:37
order for a counterattack in the
00:26:38
morning of the next day after the start of the
00:26:40
German offensive. The 2nd tank army of
00:26:43
General Rodina counterattacked the German
00:26:45
tank wedge,
00:26:47
but this retaliatory strike did not bring success.
00:26:50
After a few hours, the Soviet
00:26:53
tankers retreated to their original positions in the
00:26:56
late afternoon, in the pouring rain,
00:26:58
another corps went on the attack and again,
00:27:01
without results,
00:27:03
the losses were less than Vatutin, but
00:27:05
several dozen 34 were left to smoke
00:27:09
thick black smoke on a muddy field. The
00:27:15
tank army of the homeland also went on the
00:27:17
defensive and soon this tactics brought
00:27:19
results. The model brought a fresh
00:27:23
tank division from its reserve into battle.
00:27:29
Having studied the situation, he aimed it at the
00:27:32
weak the point of Soviet defense was the village of
00:27:34
Teplya, however, the corps commander, General
00:27:37
Limmershin, to
00:27:38
whom the division was subordinated, brought all the
00:27:40
tanks into one brigade, attacking with a large
00:27:42
mass of equipment on a narrow section of the front
00:27:44
near Olkhovatka,
00:27:46
here they were met by camouflaged
00:27:48
Soviet tanks and the German attacks crashed
00:27:52
against the Soviet defense at
00:27:57
another key point of the battle on the
00:27:59
northern front became a railway
00:28:02
station panel from which only
00:28:04
ruins remained for its storm and the Germans created a
00:28:07
cal group
00:28:08
from the survivors of Ferdinand and self-propelled guns
00:28:11
broom bar the group managed to break
00:28:13
deep into the rear of the Soviet units
00:28:15
defending the station,
00:28:17
however here the German tanks fell into the
00:28:20
fire bag of several anti-tank
00:28:23
artillery wolves
00:28:24
gunner of the second division gun 159th
00:28:28
Guards Artillery Regiment Sergeant
00:28:30
Fomin destroyed 5 medium and 2 heavy
00:28:33
tanks Tiger,
00:28:34
being wounded, continued to fire for
00:28:38
this feat the sergeant was awarded the title of
00:28:40
Hero of the Soviet Union
00:28:42
fire bag, that is, the shelling of the tank
00:28:45
wedge from three sides
00:28:46
was organized due to the so-called
00:28:48
flirting guns, openly firing
00:28:51
they attracted Enemy tanks attacked themselves,
00:28:54
moving towards the guns, they came under side
00:28:56
fire from anti-tank batteries
00:28:58
located in cover from the artillerymen,
00:29:01
it took enormous endurance and courage
00:29:03
to allow the attacking tanks to approach a
00:29:06
distance of two hundred to three hundred meters from which
00:29:08
their armor penetrated, the
00:29:10
group was stopped nearby by
00:29:14
cotton wool not under the panels,
00:29:16
the Germans were successful did not reach the
00:29:18
offensive
00:29:20
module on the northern front of the Kursk Bulge on the fifth day of the battle,
00:29:26
Rokossovsky completed the task of exhausting the enemy
00:29:28
and now it was time to think about the
00:29:31
offensive of the
00:29:32
beetles on the phone, in a conversation with
00:29:34
Stalin, he named the start date of
00:29:37
July 12,
00:29:40
while on the central front
00:29:41
the enemy the situation on the Voronezh front was stopped, the
00:29:45
Germans
00:29:48
had more room for maneuver here, slowly but surely,
00:29:51
despite large losses of tanks,
00:29:53
they had already overcome 2 out of 3 defense lines, the
00:29:58
commanders of the Soviet anti-tank
00:30:00
brigades called out their regiments by radio in the
00:30:03
enemy breakthrough area,
00:30:05
guns were immediately transferred there immediately opening
00:30:08
fire [music]
00:30:13
already on the fifth day of battle, out of 200 panthers,
00:30:17
only 16 vehicles remained in service;
00:30:20
new aerial bombs ptab also became an
00:30:23
extremely unpleasant surprise for the Germans;
00:30:26
even one hit from such a
00:30:28
bomb was enough to
00:30:30
destroy a tank
00:30:32
[music]
00:30:40
and yet the German tanks moved forward the
00:30:42
tactical literacy and
00:30:45
experience of the German commanders affected, delivering
00:30:47
strikes in different places, destroying
00:30:51
one strong point after another, they reached the
00:30:54
last third line of defense of the
00:30:56
Voronezh front, in the Soviet
00:30:59
operational report it was noted that the condition
00:31:03
for breaking through the enemy tanks was
00:31:06
the following, when the vehicles and tanks retreated,
00:31:08
the enemy pursued them closely
00:31:11
along this reason it was not possible
00:31:14
to block the road going sti trees on the
00:31:16
Ivanovsky settlement with anti-tank
00:31:17
mines
00:31:20
erase the rear defense line there
00:31:24
were no serious defensive positions anymore Komsomol battalions of the 287th
00:31:28
Guards Rifle Regiment Abolmasov
00:31:31
later wrote on the night of July 11 we went
00:31:35
to the Oktyabrsky state farm and began
00:31:37
to dig in we were told tomorrow there will be a battle for the
00:31:41
company itself, the trenches
00:31:42
will be for you a grave or a fortress
00:31:46
to prevent a breakthrough of the last
00:31:49
line of defense of the Voronezh front,
00:31:51
the insertion brought into battle the strategic
00:31:53
reserves of the
00:31:54
combined arms army of Zhadov and the tank
00:31:57
army of Rotmistrov
00:32:01
under the scorching July sun, the armies
00:32:03
moved to the front line Boris
00:32:07
Nazarov loading self-propelled
00:32:10
guns
00:32:11
152 marched all night and the next day,
00:32:16
despite the fact that the hatches were open,
00:32:18
the heat in the self-propelled gun was incredible; the
00:32:21
commander forbade leaning out of the hatch and
00:32:23
we sat inside, having thrown off almost all our clothes,
00:32:26
with the help of reserves, Vatutin planned to
00:32:31
launch the long-awaited offensive of the
00:32:33
tank army. Rotmistrov was to
00:32:36
take a position near the village of Prokhorovka and
00:32:39
strike from there, but the last
00:32:42
day before the counterattack brought big
00:32:44
troubles, launching another attack,
00:32:48
the Germans captured the position at Prokhorovka,
00:32:50
miraculously without breaking through the third line of defense,
00:32:53
without stopping, the tanks of the division with the
00:32:57
Leibstandarte rushed forward, but from the

00:33:26
SS men had to retreat back,
00:33:29
however, a convenient section of
00:33:32
terrain under Prokhorovka, flat as a table, remained in their
00:33:34
hands.
00:33:35
Leibstandarte units took up
00:33:37
defensive positions while waiting for the Death's
00:33:40
Head division to cross the bees and
00:33:42
eliminate the threat from the flank. At this time, the
00:33:45
captain's tanks were already approaching
00:33:48
Prokhorovka
00:33:51
during the march. observed the
00:33:53
strictest regime of radio silence
00:33:55
and the concentration of four hundred Soviet
00:33:57
tanks was hidden from the enemy until the
00:34:00
morning of
00:34:01
July 12,
00:34:04
but with sunrise German planes
00:34:06
noticed Soviet tanks,
00:34:08
which they reported with purple
00:34:10
rockets.
00:34:15
Rotmistrov’s army was to advance in a
00:34:18
narrow corridor between the Psel River
00:34:21
and the railways. The offensive area
00:34:23
was partially blocked by an impassable
00:34:25
ravine, bending around it, the attacking tank
00:34:30
brigades
00:34:31
had to line up at the back of each
00:34:33
other's heads in several waves,
00:34:36
usually the tanks moved in a large mass and in a
00:34:38
wide front, when a cannon fired at a
00:34:41
tank, there was immediate return fire from
00:34:44
several tank guns at once, and also a
00:34:47
small group in a narrow area did not
00:34:49
give the tanks the captain's such an
00:34:51
advantage, but the counterattack was not canceled on the
00:34:54
morning of July 12,
00:34:57
the air was filled with dozens of voices, Soviet
00:35:00
tanks moved forward

division regiment commander with a dead
00:35:08
head Helmut Becker, I noticed
00:35:11
clouds of dust on the horizon,
00:35:16
Russian tanks began to appear from these clouds, these Russians had their own
00:35:19
reserves, she said to my chief of staff
00:35:21
and realized that we had lost the battle for Kursk,
00:35:26
however, events at Prokhorovka did
00:35:28
not develop at all as planned; Soviet
00:35:31
tanks had to bypass a wide ravine;
00:35:33
this led to the fact that
00:35:35
only about a hundred vehicles were advancing in the first echelon; the tanks
00:35:39
became a convenient target for German
00:35:41
guns
00:35:42
when an hour later they were joined by
00:35:45
two more tank brigades,
00:35:46
the first echelon had already suffered heavy losses, the
00:35:49
second wave of attacking tanks was also
00:35:52
met with heavy fire and combat
00:35:54
vehicles flared up one after another, the
00:35:57
commander of a tank platoon, their bellies were on
00:36:01
fire, the tanks were disrupted by explosions and
00:36:03
flew off to the side at 15-20 meters, 5
00:36:06
tons and turrets
00:36:07
sometimes the upper armor plates of the
00:36:09
turret were torn off, soaring high,
00:36:12
often from strong explosions, the
00:36:14
whole tank fell apart instantly turning into a pile of
00:36:17
metal

00:37:40
several hours the tank thundered on or the
00:37:43
thick smoke hanging over the field turned the
00:37:46
day into night the losses were frightening
00:37:49
in one day two The corps of the Soviet
00:37:51
tank army lost from half to
00:37:54
two-thirds of their tanks to inflict a
00:37:57
crushing blow on the enemy,
00:37:59
but the German losses in people and equipment
00:38:01
were also very large. The
00:38:04
commander of the tank corps from Paul
00:38:06
Hauser began to retreat from Prokhorovka on the same day.
00:38:12
illusions regarding the
00:38:14
prospects of the citadel, the operation clearly
00:38:18
failed on the same day, on July 12, the offensive of the western and Bryansk fronts
00:38:22
began on the northern section of the Kursk Bulge;
00:38:27
the operation was named Kutuz; the
00:38:30
main idea of ​​the offensive was
00:38:33
to attack the
00:38:34
main forces of the module drawn into the
00:38:36
offensive; the blow was delivered north of the
00:38:39
eagle to the rear German troops for the
00:38:41
offensive, the
00:38:42
headquarters allocated reserve armies, but
00:38:47
they could arrive and enter into battle only a few days
00:38:49
after the start of the offensive, the start of
00:38:52
the operation was announced by a powerful
00:38:53
artillery preparation
00:38:55
so strong that the Soviet
00:38:57
infantrymen marched at full height almost without
00:39:00
encountering opposition, the
00:39:06
German resistance intensified only when
00:39:09
approaching in the second line of defense,
00:39:14
the module realized that it was in danger of
00:39:16
urgently needing to return to the defense
00:39:18
the troops that had recently attacked Kursk
00:39:21
in order to withdraw and maintain the
00:39:24
Soviet offensive,
00:39:25
it sent all its aircraft against the
00:39:28
Soviet tanks attacking the north from the
00:39:31
memoirs of the pilot and 87 messenger Ulrich
00:39:35
Rudel I am flying in an airplane armed with
00:39:39
anti-tank weapons guns and behind me
00:39:41
others in cars and with ordinary bombs
00:39:44
during the first attack four tanks
00:39:46
explode from a direct hit from shells
00:39:49
from my guns in the evening the final score reaches 12
00:39:54
covering the retreat of the model the German
00:39:57
pilots had to make sorties
00:39:59
several times a day bad for you
00:40:02
Rudel's plane was shot down by him made an
00:40:04
emergency landing, but two
00:40:06
hours later he was in the air on another plane
00:40:08
and in the same area
00:40:10
from the memories of ru Dahl,
00:40:14
after some time the council manages to
00:40:17
quite successfully cope with our
00:40:19
air anti-tank attacks and the
00:40:21
first opportunity they move their
00:40:24
anti-aircraft weapons together with the
00:40:26
advanced tanks actively fought with
00:40:30
German aircraft and Soviet
00:40:32
fighters, the
00:40:33
most successful fighter pilot of
00:40:34
Soviet aviation, Ivan Kozhedub,
00:40:38
shot down his first plane in the sky over
00:40:40
Kursk.
00:40:52
the enemy, including the
00:40:54
jet ME-262 and the currency biography,
00:40:58
are listed as two shot down Mustang planes of the US Air Force
00:41:01
that attacked it, mistaking it for a
00:41:04
German plane. The next stage of the battle
00:41:08
for the eagle began with the appearance at the front of the
00:41:11
reserves promised by the headquarters, they entered the
00:41:14
battle a week after the start of the operation,
00:41:16
the truth is By this time, the German defense had
00:41:19
already acquired sufficient stability,
00:41:23
recalls tanker Nikolai Zheleznov,
00:41:26
the Germans were defending on the outskirts of the village, a
00:41:29
diary
00:41:30
and an anti-tank gun and buried
00:41:32
tanks in this battle, I destroyed two guns and a
00:41:36
buried T-3 fired at it twice
00:41:39
from a gun and it fell silent,
00:41:41
well, two guns that we crushed it was not
00:41:44
my merit, but the driver’s,
00:41:46
and only managed to command Misha
00:41:49
to the left,
00:41:50
and when we drove along the frame, about
00:41:53
10 meters away, there was another one and another,
00:41:57
otherwise it would turn around and let us
00:42:00
encircle the German troops at the stern the Oryol
00:42:02
ledge failed, but the constant threat
00:42:05
of encirclement forced the module to enter; if the
00:42:09
Rzhev ledge at one time it held,
00:42:11
then the Oryol ledge had to be abandoned. On
00:42:15
August 5, Oryol was completely cleared of the
00:42:18
Germans. The offensive of Vatutin’s troops against
00:42:22
Manstein on the southern section of the Kursk Bulge began
00:42:24
later. The
00:42:26
Voronezh front took almost
00:42:28
three weeks to restoration of strength, but on
00:42:32
August 3, the Rumyantsev operation finally began, the
00:42:34
offensive near Belgorod and
00:42:38
Kharkov,
00:42:39
tank divisions with s were transferred by the
00:42:42
German command to the Donbass to
00:42:44
help the Sixth Army, the
00:42:47
German defense thus turned out to be
00:42:49
significantly weakened, relatively
00:42:52
quickly, and having broken through, the tanks of Katukov and
00:42:54
Rotmistrov rushed forward on the third
00:42:58
day of the offensive in on the same day as the
00:43:00
eagle, parts of the red army liberated
00:43:03
Belgorod
00:43:04
and on the evening of August 5,
00:43:07
the roar of guns was heard already in Moscow,
00:43:10
volleys of the first salute of the Great
00:43:13
Patriotic War were heard in honor of the
00:43:15
liberators of the eagle and Belgorod;
00:43:22
information is believed that the idea of ​​bustling the
00:43:24
liberators of the cities
00:43:26
belonged to Stalin personally; the order to
00:43:28
hold the salute was Stalin signed
00:43:30
the village of Khoroshovo where he left after
00:43:33
the liberation of the city of Rzhev from the Germans
00:43:35
solid on August 5 included 12 salvoes from 124
00:43:40
guns they were placed in stadiums and vacant
00:43:43
lots in different areas of Moscow
00:43:44
so that the fireworks could be seen from everywhere later they
00:43:48
developed a whole ritual according to which
00:43:50
the number of salvos depended on the size and
00:43:53
importance of the liberated city
00:44:00
[music]
00:44:02
Soviet troops were marching towards Kharkov
00:44:04
on the fourth day of the offensive when
00:44:07
Katukov’s tankers burst into Bogodukhov
00:44:09
and reached the
00:44:10
Poltava-Kharkov railway, followed by a German
00:44:13
counterattack,
00:44:14
Manstein gathered tank divisions into his fist
00:44:17
and threw them into battle in a desperate attempt to
00:44:19
hold Kharkov, the
00:44:21
advanced brigades of Katukov’s army
00:44:23
were forced to retreat to Bogodukhova and
00:44:26
took up defensive positions; meanwhile, the
00:44:30
steppe front of Konev was advancing directly on Kharkov; the Germans turned the
00:44:33
city into a fortress; its frontal assault
00:44:36
threatened with large losses; a
00:44:39
roundabout maneuver was needed for this; a colleague was
00:44:42
handed over to the tank army of the captain;
00:44:44
she had to bypass Kharkov and force
00:44:47
the Germans to leave the city; Donbass
00:44:51
returned old acquaintances of captain
00:44:53
SS tank divisions Reich and
00:44:56
Death's Head who immediately
00:44:58
struck back in the area of
00:45:00
Bogodukhov
00:45:01
captain recalled that at some
00:45:04
point he received two mutually exclusive
00:45:06
orders, one from Vatutin and the other from
00:45:09
Konev 1 sent him to the rescue of
00:45:12
Katukov under Bogodukhov 2 to help As the
00:45:14
troops storming Kharkov, the captain
00:45:16
even had a dispute with a member of the
00:45:19
military council, Grishin, and the chief of
00:45:21
staff, Baskakov, which order
00:45:23
to carry out and what needs to be done under the current
00:45:26
circumstances,
00:45:28
Pavel Alekseevich, you must come to
00:45:30
some decision, said Grishin, I, Peter
00:45:34
Grigorievich,
00:45:35
have already decided to defend ourselves until the
00:45:37
situation is clarified but for
00:45:40
untimely execution of orders we
00:45:43
can be put on trial and shot,
00:45:44
Grishin said excitedly, when my
00:45:48
house 2 the Germans take over the god of the spirit, then they
00:45:51
will definitely try me and shoot me, you
00:45:54
understand that in this case the enemy will be
00:45:56
exposed to the rear of the
00:45:58
troops of the entire left wing of the Voronezh
00:46:00
front, the chief of staff of the army,
00:46:04
as if supporting a member of the military council,
00:46:06
noted that from above the decision
00:46:10
made by the mouth of the fire was more visible to you, the decision
00:46:12
turned out to be correct,
00:46:13
his army put an end to the German
00:46:16
counterattack of the breakthrough of enemy tanks to
00:46:19
the rear, units of the Voronezh front managed to
00:46:21
avoid
00:46:23
soon the captains moved to the aid of
00:46:25
Konev’s troops and bypassed Kharkov in the west The
00:46:28
Germans had only one
00:46:31
railway
00:46:32
and one highway left at their disposal along which they
00:46:34
could still leave the city. Hitler demanded
00:46:37
that Manstein hold Kharkov under any circumstances;
00:46:40
however, this call
00:46:43
threatened to encircle the entire army group;
00:46:47
Manstein did not repeat the situation in
00:46:50
Stalingrad. On
00:46:52
August 22, in the afternoon,
00:46:55
Soviet aerial reconnaissance reported that the Germans
00:46:58
began to withdraw troops from the city, Kanev
00:47:01
did not hesitate and at night moved to
00:47:04
storm Kharkov by noon on August 23,
00:47:07
the city was liberated
00:47:10
in the evening to the liberators of Kharkov,
00:47:12
Moscow saluted, thereby
00:47:13
celebrating the victorious conclusion of the
00:47:16
Battle of Kursk
00:47:18
from the memoirs of Guderian, as a result of the
00:47:23
failure of the offensive of the citadel, we
00:47:25
suffered a decisive defeat
00:47:27
It goes without saying that the Russians hastened to
00:47:30
take advantage of the success and there
00:47:33
was no more peace on the eastern front. The
00:47:35
initiative completely passed to the enemy of
00:47:39
the operation. The citadel became the last
00:47:42
major offensive of the Wehrmacht on the
00:47:44
eastern front. The
00:47:46
Germans were driven beyond the Dnieper. They left,
00:47:50
leaving scorched earth behind them in the
00:47:52
literal sense of the word.
00:47:54
Russians and Ukrainians. villages and villages
00:47:57
were burned to the ground, grain was burned in the fields,
00:48:00
bridges and railway stations were being driven away, bridges and
00:48:03
railway stations were exploding, the population
00:48:06
was transported in wagons to Germany for
00:48:08
forced
00:48:10
Soviet troops going to liberate Ukraine
00:48:15

00:48:16
here, near the Dnieper,
00:48:19
new battles of the great war were to break out
