This epic tank/infantry/artillery battle with heavy tactical air support took place on the Russian steppe in July of 1943. More than 2 million soldiers and nearly 6 thousand tanks collided and destroyed each other in many pitched battles over a large area of land.
In several ways this battle represented the mid-point in the savage wars of the Eastern Front.
The fictional depiction above is an artist’s imaginative recreation of a scene he/she probably didn’t ever see in real live battle.
