Germans wanted to circle the town of Kursk with a pincer move, while the Russians waited for them to march right into trap which involved letting the Germans deeper but also circling them and destroying their forces. The russians had also way bigger force which resulted in the inability of germans to win the battle
No. The Russians were forewarned of the attack. They created strong, interlocked defensive positions, to a depth of fifty miles in the threatened area. They allowed the Germans to blunt their weapons on the defenses, then went over to the counter-attack. The Russian counter-offensive beginning at the end of Kursk kept rolling until the Russians were in Berlin. After Kursk, the Germans never had the strength to mount another major offensive. It was their last grab for victory, but it still took nearly another two years to completely defeat the Nazis.
