Kursk is a monument illustrating how endless hesitation and delay can cost you the battle and makes your enemy strong. That Hitler delayed and delayed and delayed the attack, probbaly undert the imrpession of Stalingrad, imo is the display of one of the biggest tactical mistakes he ever made. To not allow corrections at Stalingrad while there still was time, and to let the Brits escape at Dunkirk are the other two super-big biggies, imo. Imagine: Britian could have been taken out of the war at Dunkirk already. Now that would have changed things dramatically. Maybe we all should be happy that he made that mistake.
But of course, the whole war was a mistake.
