Prokhorovka: Chances of a German Breakthrough?

Dr. Roman Töppel addresses the question if the Germans had the chance of an operational breakthrough after the Battle of Prokhorovka, which was part of the Battle of Kursk (Operation Zitadelle). "I've heard arguments that there was a reasonable chance for an operational breakthrough after prokhorovka, given the damage to Rotmistrov's tank army and Rodimtsev's corps in the actions surrounding Prokhorovka. What is Dr. Toppel's opinion regarding German operational potentials in this situation, and what potential ramifications do you think this might have had? From my understanding the present orthodox American historiography is that the Germans had little to no chance of meaningful success, however I found myself unable to meaningfully comment when it was challenged. I'd love to see your commentary!" »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Töppel, Roman: Kursk 1943.
