While the II SS Panzer Corps was still trying to push north at Prokhorovka, the regular army panzer grenadier division “Grossdeutschland" was to join in the final push and break the stalemate at Kursk. Instead, the elite “GD” had to rush to the flank of the XLVII Panzer Corps where Soviet counter-attacks threatened to break through.
