There was a bulge around the town of Kursk that was about 100 miles long in 1943. The two forces on either side of Kursk focused everything on the bulge. The Germans were delayed for supplies. Russians were aware that the attack would happen, and so had time to prepare and place land mines, barbed wire, and 1.3 million men there, many of whom were vets of Stalingrad. The aftermath of this was that Stalin started to trust intelligence more and starts micromanaging his officers less.
