Nope.
I've decided I might as well throw everything I have. The following is all the names it was given by both participants of the battle The __ Battle of ___ Germany known it as Donets _____ The USSR known this as ___ and ___ Operations More background info: February 19, 1943 - March 15, 1943 In January 2, 1943, Soviet Operation Star and Gallop was launched, breaking through the German defenses, allowing the Soviets to recapture Kharkov and Belgorod, Kursk, Voroshilovgrad and Izium. Although these victories were great, the Soviets overextended themselves and several units were depleted. With the surrender of the German 6th Army, the Soviet Central Front could now turn it's attention to the German Army Group Center and Army Group South. On February 16, Manstein launched an assault using the II SS Panzer Corp and 2 panzer armies and massive amounts of air support. With that, Manstein flanked, encircled, and defeated Soviet armored spearheads south of Kharkov, allowing Manstein to attack Kharkov again. Though Manstein and the German High Command ordered the SS Panzer Corp to attack north, the SS made a frontal assault, causing heavy casualties and intense urban combat. 4 days of urban combat led to the capture of Kharkov. Later, Belgorod was captured by the Germans, forming a salient. This salient would be the place where the Battle of Kursk would occur. More hints will be given later. This time, I'll go look into encyclopedias and books, I might be running out of hints, and I need to find a way to give a more obvious hint... And sorry guys, I think I accidentally turned this into a guessing game of spelling. After this, I'm gonna take a break from this to reflect. Donets Salient?
