Bolstered defenses
Thoroughly prepared
Awaiting the offensive
Blitzkrieg warfare

Strong fortifications
Littered with mines
Bunkers, trenches, ditches
Impenetrable lines
Soviet initiative
Preliminary fire
The battle commences
Armageddon is nigh

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

Molten black earth
