>Example. Glantz - who is considered a leading historian of the Eastern Front - says in an essay of his (2001): "2.5 million Red Army troops defeated over 1 million Germans at Kursk", while Wikipedia notes 1,9 million vs 800 thousand soldiers, citing a book by Glantz & House (2004)...
It depends on what forces they include in the battle and what they count the battle as being, the wiki page for the battle of Kursk says 780 thousand vs 1.9 million for Operation citadel but then 940 thousand vs 2.5 million for the soviet counter attack. So neither are actually wrong.
