Nice research  Egorka.

Magierow not far away from my home town!

Salutation,

ground dig awards very often bring a deeper history, despite of their condition (only s/n matters).

 And here  is original citation  of Hamitov's ORS.

Whats more,i think  if we talk about Battle of Kursk we should consider it as a sereies of military operation, battles, local offensives and counter-offensives (ex. Zitadel, Kutuzow, Rodimtsev, Prokhorovka, Obojan, Bogodukhova, etc.)

All fights between 5th July and 23th August in region of Kursk we could generaly call Battle of Kursk.

Salutation,

as Kursk battle is in range of my interest  (and 1943 in general), here i post pictures of ground dig Order of the Red Star
