“Berehnshtein” - Based on a true story, a glimpse into Soviet led partisan forces in occupied Ukraine and Poland that located some of Germany’s biggest war secrets.
Notable gems: The opening scene gives a harrowing view of what it may have been like to be on the receiving end of a “combined arms” blitz style attack.

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
