Hello!

After about two hours searching Internet, I am unable to find info pertaining to the Nazi's informing the German people of the defeats of the Battle of Kursk and the Soviet reclaiming if Kharkov. Any help would be wonderful!

OKW communiques were broadcasted daily on radio and also appeared in daily newspapers. They usually didn't advertise bad news directly, just described events of the previous day; but it was possible to work out what's going on.
Communiques for 24/25/26/27 August mentioned fighting in Charkow.

Also there were articles about fighting near/in Charkow on 24/25/26 August. I even found one which describes English and US press reaction to the Soviet offensive.
