[1st Trip] Battlefield

Going back to battlefield itself. Let's look around it and into all directions.
At this pic we r viewing from belltower to soviet vanguard positions - on the back u can see T-34 on pedestal as a mark of this position. Can say that in this place - where is standing belltower and further away from Prokhorovka (according to maps, but I'm not sure to 100%) german armor met soviet armor. There must have been hell on earth.

Here u r looking into direction from where arrived left flank of german assault group (can anyone say who was commanding that group).

At this pic u r probably viewing (I'm not sure 100% because in this direction can be seen 2 villages) an edge of village 'Грязное' (Gryaznoe, it is marked on map from book like 'Грезное') - the houses in the back side of picture:

This is a close look:

At this point we left field rest in peace

lets see whats on it. As u can see on previous pictures there many ligths on it and proprojectors that r lighten up the belltower and field itself. At summer night the view of this place is wonderful.

First of all ther r sign showing us that we r on Prokhorovka Field:

At the entrance there r memorial plate showing us that this place is given status of culture preserve by order of President Boris Eltzin in 1995:

Also on the field is standig statue of one authors of belltower that died before it was complete:

to be continued..
