Basically what the title says.
What if the the german offensive in 1943 is not directed at Kursk, but at Leningrad, with the goal to end and win the siege


I could see several reasons why this could be seen as more favourable:

1. Leningrad, unlike Kursk is difficult to reinforce and supply for the Soviets.
2. Morale Boost/ Propaganda victory, for taking such an important city.
3.Freeing the troops bound in the siege and link up with the Finns, thus shortening the frontline greatly.
4.Capturing the Base of the Soviet Baltic Fleet ( which would be either captured or sunk)
5.Taking whats left of its Industry







Yay no more lurking by the way :D.
