The Unknown War

The World's Greatest Tank Battle (1x7)

Uitzenddatum: Jan 01, 1979

In July of 1943 the largest armored battle in history took place in Kursk. Hitler planned to annihilate the Soviet army at Kursk and make one final effort to win the war in the east. Here thousands of tanks, both Soviet and German, clashed in a battle of monumental size. After the defeat of the Nazis in this battle, Hitler's tanks -- pride of his army -- would never again regain the strength that had carried them from the English Channel to the Volga. And never again would the Germans meet the Russians on even terms.
