Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. German Army Detachment Kempf (ARMEE-ABTEILUNG "KEMPF") was a Wehrmacht formation on the Eastern Front during World War II. Part of Army Group South, Detachment Kempf saw action during Operation Citadel (Zitadelle), the German attempt to cut off the Kursk salient and crush the large part of the Russian army. Otherwise known as the Battle of Kursk (5 July - 23 July 1943), this action amounted to the largest set-piece battle in World War II. Kempf Army was involved on the southern flank of the gigantic salient around Kursk, where its units formed the eastern half of a two-pronged armored attack. Beginning on the night of 4/5 July 1943, III Panzerkorps, Kempf Army's primary attack formation, spearheaded the thrust east of Belgorod, with XI. Armeekorps and XLII Armeekorps guarding its flanks. Originally, Kempf Army had orders to push east and block Soviet reinforcements from reaching vital areas of the German attack at the south end of the Kursk salient, but late on 8 July Field Marshal von Manstein redirected Detachment Kempf northward in order to assist another unit.
