In the summer of 1943, the Germans planned for one more offensive but with more limited goals - to even out the front line and position themselves for future offensive operations. Their focus was on a salient in the line centered on the city of Kursk.
Unfortunately, the Russians were of aware of the German plan and had prepared accordingly. In a costly week long campaign the German forces were stopped cold, and the strategic initiative passed over to the Russians for the first time in the war.
