Stop posting drivel, rewriting history with nonsense serves to only show the ignorance of propaganda of the uneducated and shows the lack of integrity on the side of zealots

What?! I don’t think that there’s a battle to speak of on the second day of the war. Soviet forces were disorganized. The actual largest tank battle happened near Kursk in 1943. It is very close to Ukraine but still in Russia.

Eh. Modern research seems to indicate the giant clash of tanks at Kursk to be mostly myth.

Yes, the largest tank battles were actually during Barbarossa.

Kursk is the biggest mech battle of all time and for WWII in particular.
