But much indignation was caused by this phrase from Die Welt: "Eigentlich müsste dieses Denkmal sofort abgerissen werden". Monument is symbol of one big battle near Prokchorowka which lasted 12-16 July 1943, started with debacle on 12.07 and ended with German retreat on 16.07.1943.
That fact that 5 guard tank army was defeated by germans on 12.07.1943 is opened in russian historical society long time ago by very respected researcher Zamulin.
