Overview

July 1943. For six months, the German advance has stalled, but Hitler is convinced that his new generation of Nazi tanks will help put the Reich back on the path to European domination. His target: the Soviet town of Kursk. Through extraordinary archive footage—colorized for the first time—and firsthand accounts by those who were there, we tell the story of the greatest tank battle the world has ever seen, featuring gargantuan German Tigers facing off against hundreds of Russian T-34 tanks.
