The German counter offensive of February 1943 threw back the Soviet forces that had been advancing toward the Dnepr River on the Izyum sector of the front, and by mid-March the Germans had retaken Kharkov and Belgorod and reestablished a front on the Donets River. Hitler also authorised the German forces to fall back, in March, from their advanced positions facing Moscow to a straighter line in front of Smolensk and Orėl. Finally, there was the existence of the large Soviet bulge, or salient, around Kursk, between Orėl and Belgorod, which extended for about 150 miles from north to south and protruded 100 miles into the German lines. This salient irresistibly tempted Hitler and Zeitzler into undertaking a new and extremely ambitious offensive instead of remaining content to hold their newly shortened front.
