In the summer of 1943 more than 2,000,000 men and 6,000 tanks of the German and Soviet Armies faced each other near the Soviet city of Kursk. The ensuing battle is the largest tank battle ever fought in history. It marked the last major offensive operation of German forces in the East and combined with the Soviet victory at Stalingrad was the decisive turning point on the Eastern Front.
