CITADEL

Massive Nazi buildup meets their nemesis before dawn
An awakening of artillery breaks the calm before the storm
With the roar of man and machines
Katyushas scream in satanic symphony.
Spearhead of heavy armor breaks defensive lines
Shattered in their charge by anti-tank guns and mines
Infantry mauled and screaming
Agonized the cries, choking dust blind the battle field
Blood and chaos reign
Insane legions quicken the slaughter
Steel to steel, kill or be killed
War gods smile down
And watch the steppes turn crimson red
Bodies burn alive
Entangled in deaths grip
The battle for Kursk has now begun.
Wehrmacht drives into the Soviet anvil of defense
Panzer wedges concentrate on T-34 destruction
Hell shriek of the Stukas aligning their death dives
Each advance measured in inches
Paid for with human blood and savage pride
Deafening maelstrom of gunfire
Exchanged at point blank range
Turrets blown off tanks
Bodies lie torn and maimed
Burning hulls of armor litter the battlefield
Beacons to the war dead
Deaths Head impaled upon the salients of Kursk
Ironbound defenses, strategy dissolved
Tempest of fire, unrelenting ferocity
Feeling the promised victory decay
Tombs of steel burn against defiled skies
Out of the blackened ruins pour the Russian reserves
5th Guards Tank Army
Slayer of Totenkoff and Das Reich
In a last bid for victory enmasse the tanks for the death ride
The Kutuzov War machine
It was the bloodiest tank war in this world's history
SS divisions answer to the last man
And the tide starts to bend
Operation Citadel is now at an end
