Abstract
ABSTRACT The battle of Prokhorovka in July 1943 was undoubtedly a convincing Soviet victory, despite incurring heavy armored losses, the Red Army’s supremacy in artillery, anti-tank defense, armored reserves, and tenacity ensured that the German advance on Prokhorovka was halted. Despite this, Western historians have tended to fixate on the lesser armored losses suffered by the Germans; often without placing these losses in the wider context of the battle. This theme is continued further when Tiger tank losses at Prokhorovka are dismissed as myth or fable. This article will reveal the contrary is true and that in reality, the final myth of the battle of Prokhorovka is that no Tiger tank losses occurred. Using original German sources throughout the article provides irrefutable evidence that a German Tiger tank was destroyed on the Prokhorovka battlefield in July 1943.
