This topic has been gone over before from a number of different angles, but this time I wish only to discuss the results of the Germans launching Zitadelle in May 1943 when originally planned. Blairwitch I'm especially looking for your input here.
Assuming that Hitler doesn't delay the operation, nor does any other person or factor, what would happen? This is pretty obvious change, as the Russians have not had months to build up their supplies, defenses or manpower, but still the Kursk bulge is a massive nut to crack. The Germans are weaker too, but their offensive power is stronger in relation to the Russians.
The question then is whether the Germans are strong enough to breakthrough the Russian lines and pincer it off.

Assuming they do, what does this mean for the Russians and their follow up operations? What about Allied operations in Italy and German reserves?
