DVD Reviews of The Battlefield: The Battle of Kursk
DVD Review: Battlefield - Kursk, a good overview
Summary: 5 Stars
Kursk is one of the largest, if not the largest battle ever fought. 2,000,000 men, 6000 tanks, 1000's of aircraft.
The defenses around Kursk were 50 miles deep! This was the last major German offensive on the Russian front. It was fought in July 1943.
I learned quite a bit from the video. However, given the scale of the battle much more could have been - should have been presented. The air battles over Kursk lacked depth. The nature of the Russian defense could have been covered in greater detail. Very little is said of the logisitics of moving that many men and tanks and provisions to the battle. As I mentioned in the title, for a battle of this scale - 96 minutes gives a good overview but leaves the viewer wanting more information.
The Ferdinand Porsche-designed Elefant tank destroyer is featured with all its strengths and weaknesses. The epic tank-to-tank engagement at Prokhorovka is featured. The leaders and generals and order of battle and key weapons are featured. Several key generals' profiles are quite interesting. Zhukov, Konev, Rokosovsky, Von Manstein, Guderian, Model and a host of others are named. I still can't figure out if Hoth was intending to lead his tanks through the minefield.
The battlefield series is noted for its in-depth analysis and program structure. This video follows the same pattern as established in the Battlefield series. The narration in this episode seems less intense than others in the series. It also seems to lack the opening introduction and theme music which set the tone for the predecessors in the series.
Despite my criticisms, if you enjoy the series you will enjoy this edition on Kursk.
