Kursk - Russian OB - Units that did not exist

This page shows the Order of Battle for units that did not exist

Is this man a complete idiot ??????

No - this is a list of units that handles all those units that are sometimes listed - but that I can show did not exist during the time of the Battle of Kursk. Hope it helps.....
The OB below shows the complete hierarchy of the Front, as far as I have been able to ascertain. The indents are used to show the levels of reporting - each indent showing units subordinate to the previous.
The notes column includes the following info:

AT - Antitank
nn AT - Number of AT Guns
MTR - Mortar
AA - Anti-aircraft
Bn - Battalion
LAB - Light Artillery Brigade
HB - Howitzer Brigade
CB - Cannon Brigade
MB - Medium Artillery Brigade
HHB - Heavy Howitzer Brigade
SHHB - Super-Heavy Howitzer Brigade
GMB - Guards Mortar Brigade
ARBn - Artillery Battalion
