Chapter 7 - The Dogfight

'Guns yes, prisoners yes, territory yes, but all at an outrageous cost and without strategic results.'

General Messimy on the eve of the Nivelle offensive, April 1917

'... the campaigning of 1941 and 1942 had proved that our panzers were virtually invincible if they were allowed to manoeuvre freely across the great plains of Russia. Instead of seeking to create conditions in which manoeuvre would be possible by strategic withdrawals or surprise attacks in quiet sectors the German Supreme Command could think of nothing better than to fling our magnificent panzer divisions against Kursk, which had now become the strongest fortress in the world.'

Major-General F.W. von Mellenthin
