GERMAN LAST MAJOR ASSAULT - EASTERN FRONT - KURSK FILM
Ойындар
Inspired by Operation Citadel, today's cinematic storytelling comes from the Eastern Front in 1943 when the German's last major assault on the eastern front took place. This is Kursk, which became the largest tank battle in history. Germany's last major offensive started from Orel and Belgorod fronts, near Kharkiv in Ukraine. Armoured spearhead with Tiger tanks, Panthers, and Ferdinand tanks tried to break through Soviet defensive lines, who previously in preparation dug hundreds of miles of trenches and other fortifications. Some epic action happened also in Prokhorovka, where the Soviet T-34s made an all-out counter-assault.
Shout-out to Anatoly Dyatlov, for collaboration in designing this exclusive map.

Any other army would have been defeated against germans in this battle.
Не скажу, что мне не понравилось Но в ролике мало достоверности. Так, во первых, большинство Фердинандов было потеряно уже на первой линии обороны русских, так как плотность минирования была очень высокой, а Фердинанды часто сбивались с проходов между минными полями и подрывались. Во вторых, да, советские танкисты на Т-34-76 отправлялись массово против Тигров и Пантер. Но данные эпизоды были всего два раза, на разных участках Курского выступа, и произошли они почти в самом начале немецкого наступления. Так как советское командование ничего не могло противопоставить броне новых немецких танков, а положение было тяжёлое. В третьих, на Курской дуге явно обозначалось превосходство советской авиации, что также поддерживалось советскими ПВО Здесь же мы видим, как тяжёлые немецкие истребители почти до конца ролика безнаказанно сбрасывают бомбы на советские позиции. И последнее. На Курской дуге была применена новая тактика расстановки противотанковых орудий. Вместо стандартного построения в линию была изобретена тактика противотанковых районов. Орудия ставились на небольших подготовленных позициях по 4-6 штук, каждое из которых смотрело в разную сторону фронта. Получался некий полукруглый клин. С такой позиции расчеты пошли вести обстрел прямой наводкой на 180-240 градусов сразу. Ах да, и ещё одно. Советское командование знало о предстоящей атаке нацистов, поэтому предприняло превентивные артобстрелы предполагаемых мест средоточения техники противника, которые начались за несколько часов до начала операции Цитадель. Это позволило уничтожить большое количество техники и живой силы противника, а также ввести его в состояние шока

Russians hid a lot that they won this war. in fact, the Kremlin caught up with 1500 t-34s against 600 German leopards and tigers, no one won this battle, the battle took place only 50 km along the front line. Almost all Russian tanks were destroyed, the Germans lost 400 tanks, 1300 Russian tanks were destroyed, as a result, the Germans withdrew, they realized that there was no point in going further, and the Russians were demoralized.

Saya suka sejarah, terutama sejarah saat perang dunia ke 2 terjadi. Pertempuran Kursk adalah pertempuran tank paling epic dan terbaik menurut saya. Maaf, saya dari Indonesia. Jadi saya menggunakan bahasa Indonesia. Tetapi saya menyukai jiwa patriotisme bangsa Rusia. Mereka tidak ingin wilayahnya dikuasai Jerman, tentu itu sama seperti negara kami. Meskipun saya keturunan Chinese, tapi saya sangat mencintai Indonesia. Kami orang Indonesia juga sama, tidak ingin negeri kami kembali di jajah. Kalian orang Rusia punya jiwa petarung yang tangguh, pertempuran sudah menjadi pengalaman bagi kalian. Dalam pertempuran Kursk, kalian mengorbankan banyak sekali unit tempur seperti tank. Selain itu, korban jiwa dari pejuang kalian sangat banyak. Perang lainnya yang saya tahu adalah Battle of Stalingrad, Kiev, dan Leningrad. Kalian mampu mendesak Jerman hingga kembali ke negara asalnya, itu sangat mengesankan. Sangat jarang ada pertempuran yang dapat mencapai titik balik seperti itu. Saya hanya ingin memberitahu kalian, jarak antara Rusia menuju Berlin itu bukanlah jarak yang dekat. Kalian harus melalui Polandia, dan tentu di Polandia, Jerman sudah membangun pertahanan yang kuat. Namun pasukkan merah Uni Soviet mampu menembusnya dan terus masuk sampai wilayah Jerman. Itu sangat mengesankan. Ditambah lagi, dengan memukul pasukkan Rumania, itu sangat bagus. Mengingat Rumania memang agak lemah pada saat itu. Saya juga kagum dan salut dengan Jerman yang mau bertahan sampai akhir. Meskipun pada akhirnya terpaksa menyerah, tetapi bertahan sampai akhir itu luar biasa. Bahkan bukan perkara mudah bagi Jerman yang awalnya tangguh dan kuat diawal serangan, namun justru gagal di akhir. Jerman telah menunjukkan pada dunia, betapa tangguhnya mesin perang mereka. Rusia dan Amerika tentu belajar banyak dari perang tersebut. Tetapi peperangan itu menghasilkan teknologi baru dan mengubah teknologi tempur masa depan. Sekarang, dunia sudah berbeda, dan pertempuran dizaman modern ini lebih mematikan dari zaman dulu. Tetapi kita harus belajar dari sejarah, tiap peperangan pasti akan ada banyak hal yang harus dikorbankan. Orang yang dicintai, ekonomi, makanan, sumber daya, tempat tinggal, hingga sahabat. Saya berharap tidak ada lagi perang berikutnya. Damai jauh lebih indah, dan jika memang harus berperang, sekarang adalah saatnya perang melawan kemiskinan dan kelaparan. Perang melawan perubahan iklim, dan perang melawan kesombongan dan keegoisan diri.

Excellent presentation. It was interesting to see some T-34 units take multiple hits but still keep firing.
The limitations of the graphic is understandable, but it is amazingly true to the event actually. It really was that level of brutish carnage. And it cost the Germans a lot more than just one battle. This was on par with the Battle of the Bulge for squandering resources they couldn't afford to lose.

Well done. You captured Operation Zitadelle (Citadel) perfectly. The "Death ride of the Panzers". The destruction of Germany's panzer reserves meant that the Russians, from 1943 onward, now controlled the offensive operations to the end. The Blitzkrieg (lightning war) was defeated by a defense in depth, with hundreds of antitank guns, dug in artillery and supported by tanks. Despite the Fourth Panzer Army's best efforts, with the 48th Panzer Korps, 3rd Panzer Corps and the SS panzer divisions they could not break through. You captured the Russian T-34's closing the gap and engaging the Tigers at point blank range and nullified the long range gunnery of German guns. I hope this is not your last great project but it is certainly your best!!

The Germans' mistake was delaying the attack until July. They should've attacked in May when they originally intended. Delaying just gave the Russians times to fortify the hell out of the place. Also, they also made a mistake by rushing the Panther tanks into battle, because they still plagued by mechanical problems, causing many to break down in the middle of battle. And the Elefant tank wasn't used the right way as it was meant to be used defensively, not on the offensive.

That being said, the Germans would've had to do a lot of things right to make it happen. Here's a possible scenario: the Germans win at Kursk, then go on the defensive in the east to bleed the Russians dry. Meanwhile, the Axis manage to prevent the Allies from getting a toehold in Sicily, or at least Italy itself. Then, if the Germans could defeat the Allied invasion of Normandy, MAYBE they could force the Allies to the negotiating table. But like I said, it would take quite a bit to make that happen.
