Best Answer

The Battle of Kursk was the biggest battle of all time, fought on the Eastern Front between Germany and the Soviet Union. This was in the summer of 1943, a few months after the Germans had lost an entire army at Stalingrad. This was the last time in the war the Germans were able to mount a true, large scale offensive, but the Russians knew it was coming and were ready for it. After defeating the German attack, the Russians went over to the counter-offensive, and the Germans could not stop them until they were in Berlin and the war was lost for Germany.

Is that battle of kursk important?

Um maybe,but it was one of the biggest battles of World War II.Here are the 5 biggest battles of World War II. 1.)Battle of Kursk 2.)Battle of 3.)Battle of 4.)Battle of 5.)Battle of Berlin Kursk, in July of 1943, was the last occaision that the Germans had any real success on the Eastern front in WW2. & their success in this battle was illusory, but the war will not end for another 2 years, nearly. A very long way from Kursk to Berlin, especially given the territory that the Soviets will 'Liberate' on the way there. The advances made by the Russians are strategically similar to those employed by Marshal Joffre of France in the latter stages of WW1.
