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

[Dan History]

I think that many members of the forum will be interested to know that Dr. Ben Wheatley, a Honorary Research Fellow in the School of History at the University of East Anglia, has used Luftwaffe reconnaissance images to demonstrate visually the disastrous defeat of the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army at Prokhorovka on 12 July 1943, during the battle of Kursk.

The article is available online, for free:

Dr. Wheatley's article was published in May, and now, close to the anniversary of the battle, the historical editor of the German newspaper Die Welt has drawn wide public attention to it:

A hysterical official Russian reaction has already followed:
