Inadmissible in what? He didn't say that germans must kill Kellerhof. Only to investigate his appeals to destroying of monument. This is normal reaction for barbariс words. Kellerhof already say that he was misunderstood and didn't wish to destroy smtg in reality.

And you can proove this with documents, not with Manstein's memoirs?

Reality is vice versa, first Zamulin's work about Prokchorowka dated 2002, and he started to gather archive materials as early as 1997. Also he is professional historian and not amateur as Lopukhovsky

This is article made by anonymous using some Isaev's these. Real article is here - https://warhead.su/2019/07/10/prohor...zabyt-die-welt. It has completely another title

Isaev didn't say that surprising arrival of 5 gv.TA was main reason of german defeat in all Zitadelle. He gave german unawareness just like one example how bad was situation on german side. There was 5 tank corps arrived plus one more army. Germans even can't capture huge army stocks near Prokhorowka. Advance was stopped, almost stay still to 16 July. You consider this as German victory?
