Kursk was very interesting and a well done presentation. The faulty actions by Hitler is something that we have seen a few times already in other battles but when he took some of the army out and sent them to Italy he really ruined this battle for himself. I found it really interesting since the Russians were able to push the Germans back to Kiev, which Hitler thought would never happen.
In the second presentation I feel like we barely scratched the surface yet it was interesting to note that most historians apparently disregarded the importance of this battle. Again, this is another example of Hitler not pulling or allowing his troops to pull out when they should.

If Hitler was really so concerned about getting land for the expasion of his utopia, you would think he would have been more calculated in his actions. I think he seemed more concerned with gaining and maintaining absolute power, that he kind of forgot what he was doing. This worked out for all of the allies and helped us to defeat him.
It's almost like Hitler thought that once he claimed a land it would go under German control uncontested and therefore there was no reason to leave troops in it. He spread himself so thin it made it too easy to take back all the land later in the war.
