Hauser was more than just average - he was a very good Panzer Korps commander. His II SS Panzer Korps did the best out of any formations at Kursk, not because they had better men and equipment (which they didn't although the 3 SS Panzer divisions attached were excellent formations) but because Hauser came up with a tactical plan that was far better than the plans of any of the other Korps Commanders in the 4th Panzerarmee and indeed the entire Heersgruppe.
