Re: Article using Luftwaffe wartime reconnaisance imagery of battle of Kursk drives media attention

Did the Luftwaffe participate in this battle: air superiority, ground attack, ISTAR?

"Low clouds in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon inhibited air operations over Prokhorovka for both sides.[138] Over the Prokhorovka battlefield the Luftwaffe gained control of the air. Formations of Stukas, including a small number of the G-2 variants, experimentally equipped with twin 3.7-centimetre (1.5 in) Bordkanone BK 3,7 cannon in gun pods, that were commanded by Staffelkapitän Hans-Ulrich Rudel, attacked the Soviet formations. They were joined by Fw 190 single engine fighter-bombers and Hs 129 twin-engined ground-attack aircraft, both equipped with 3-centimetre (1.2 in) anti-tank cannon.[120]"
