@SuperbattleshipYamato Yeah I get you 100%. Alternate History is a niche interest in the first place so finding other people willing to go down the rabbit hole is always tough.
Von Mansteins counteroffensive
-
I’m reading a book called ‘100 years of conflict’, and an quote from that book is: and only the spring thaw and AGC’s unwillingness to send forces south prevented the Soviets from suffering further defeats.
If AGC did send forces south, would that have made a difference on the kursk salient?

It would but at prohibitive costs. AGS was pretty much depleted and Manstein had no reserves as they were all committed at start. Any success would not be realized because all the formations were tired and they had no followup. It was wishful thinking that they had the initiative at this point.
The plan would have worked sake for Hitler postponing it time and again for need of Heavy Tanks. This went on all the time while Zhukov built up 5 lines of defense
