Was the Battle of Kursk the greatest tank battle in history? World War II in numbers

The Battle of Kursk was the last major offensive that the German army experienced on the Eastern Front during World War II. Despite enormous Soviet losses, their ability to easily replace men, not to mention the power of the feared T-34 tank, made Kursk one of the most decisive moments in the war and in history.

Tracing the Allied response from the Dieppe Raid of 1942 to D-Day and Operation Bagration in 1944, this episode of World War II by the Numbers presents the most crucial points of the final years of the Second World War.
