May 1943

Eastern Front

The opposing forces around Kursk continue to build. The Ostheer is sending the buld of its replacements to this sector, other sectors having to get by with what they have.

During May the Germans pull the 4th SS Motorized Division out of the combat line and disband the 7th Lufwaffe Division. The 79th Infantry Division enters the line bringing Ostheer deployment to 16 panzer, 14 panzer grenadier and 146 infantry divisions.
