On July 12, 1943 on the southern front of Kursk bulge near Prokhorovka station, took place one of the largest battles in military history with participation of armoured units.
The Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army and the German 2nd SS Panzer Corps, clashed in a massive battle of armoured vehicles, reminiscent of medieval clashes between opposing armoured cavalry.
The Tiger tank was impressive in every way, and the Wehrmacht now possessed a tank to compete with the T-34s and the KV1s.
More than a thousand armoured vehicles and anti-tank guns from both sides converged on a large plain south of Kursk in the vicinity of Prokhorovka on the morning of July 12th, setting the stage for what would be the largest single tank battle in history - and perhaps the most decisive moment of the war.
