in every single WWII what if question the answer boils down to "Yes, but only if Germany wasn't ruled by retards and had spent the last decade gearing up for this specific fight"

Well, there would've been a breakthrough at Prokhorovka if detachement Kempf was with the 2nd panzer corps and were allowed to continue the assault after july the 12, the day of the battle of prokhorovka.

But it was a minor miracle that the German forces were able to advance as far as they did in the first place considering the many months the Soviets had to build up heavy defensive fortifications and were further aided by luck with the Soviets guessing wrong where the main axis of attack was coming from (South instead of North).

If Hitler managed to create a warp portal for a daemonic incurrsion, would the axis have won?

It might have helped to have someone else besides Model lead the northern pincer. He was really more of a defense oriented commander, and had no faith in the assault in the first place. Manstein actually believed in the attack.

Still, while winning the battle would have shortened their front line, it would have at best delayed their defeat by a few months at the most.
