Kursk, qeybaha ugu badan ee hawada ayaa ku biiray raacdada ciidamada Jarmalka ilaa wabiga Dnepr. Inkastoo tobankii qeybood ee ilaalada hawada ay ku dagaalameen safka hore, guutooyin cusub oo hawada laga raaco ayaa laga sameeyay aagagga dambe. Bishii Abriil iyo Maajo 1943, labaatan guuto ayaa la sameeyay oo loo tababaray howlgallada hawada ee mustaqbalka. Inta badan guutooyinkaan waxay noqdeen lix ilaalo cusub qeybaha hawada (11th ilaa 16th) Sebtember 1943. "Stavka" si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay u qoondeeyeen saddex ka mid ah guutooyinka diyaaradaha ee hawada si loogu isticmaalo hawlgalka hawada si looga gudbo Wabiga Dnepr, oo aan guuleysan.
