Tomo,
For the Soviet records Erickson is really very good. I used his work as a lot of the material for Lost Victories. The reason GD is referred to as an SS division in Erickson is that the Soviets had it as an SS division. Erickson used older, pre-Glasnost Soviet sources and therefore that by itself is a problem. Glantz uses current Russian sources from the original archives, not the Istorii the Kremlin put out in the 60's. To balance Erickson, the Seaton book works best, "The Russo-German War" along with Ziemke, Moscow to Stalingrad" and "Stalingrad to berlin" coming from German OKH records and unit histories.
The absolute worst book on Zitadelle is martin caidin's "The Tiger's are Burning". he has Tigers being destroyed all over the place at Kursk.
