- Synopsis:
This programme focuses on the German tank strategies and the invasion into Russia in 1941. Though outnumbered two to one, the Germans' superior training and tactics gave them the edge in capturing the city of Kiev. They were stopped only 20 miles from Moscow by the powerful Russian T-34 tanks and the bitterly cold winter, which historians consider being a turning point in the war. Meanwhile in North Africa, German troops, led by general Erwin Rommel, outclassed and outnumbered the allied forces until General Patton and his American troops arrived in Tunisia and provided reinforcements. The greatest tank battle of the war took place at Kusrk. The Germans launched an all-out offensive using their more powerful Tiger an Panther tanks but the unveiling of new anti-tank guns and the more reliable allied tanks turned the battle in favour of the allied troops under the command of field Marshall Montgomery and General Patton. - Actors:
