Molten Black Earth

Bolstered defenses

Thoroughly prepared

Awaiting the offensive

Blitzkrieg warfare

Warfare

Strong fortifications

Littered with mines

Bunkers, trenches, ditches

Impenetrable lines

Soviet initiative

Preliminary fire

The battle commences

Armageddon is night

Night

Panzers advancing

Storming grenadiers

88 guns blasting

As Tigers appear

T-34s

Assaulting the flanks

HEAT and AP charges

Pulverizing tanks

Exploding ammo

Blazing fuel

Splintering shells

Raging duel

Burning wreckages

Blood-soaked sand

Smoldering armor

Dismembered men

Dismembered men

All reserves wasted

One last attack

Failed encirclement

The enemy pushed back

Those who held Kursk

Shall be remembered

Where flesh and metal fused

With Molten black Earth
