It was the final strategic offensive the Germans were able to mount in the east. The resulting decisive Soviet victory gave the Red Army the strategic initiative for the rest of the war. The Germans hoped to shorten their lines by eliminating the Kursk salient (also known as the Kursk bulge), created in the aftermath of their defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad. They envisioned pincers breaking through its northern and southern flanks to achieve a great encirclement of Red Army forces. The Soviets, however, had intelligence of Adolf Hitler's intentions. This and German delays to wait for new weapons, mainly Tiger and Panther tanks,[20][21] gave the Red Army time to construct a series of defense lines and gather large reserve forces for a strategic counterattack.[22] Kursk as a whole demonstrated the failure of Blitzkrieg against a prepared, flexible, and multiply-redundant strategy of defense in depth.[citation needed] Well-advised months in <b>...</b>
