Answer 1

Kursk, July 1943, biggest armored battle ever fought was a major turning point battle just like stalingrad.

Just like the rest of the war the russian would except 3 to 1 or even worse casualty rates, they lost so many tanks and men but could produce them faster then germans could destroy them. Sovietts used there reliable hard hitting t34 and kv1 tanks to destroy the german panzer 4's and tigers, panthers.

Answer 2

Kursk, Russia, 1943.

Kaserine Pass didnt even come close to being a major tank on tank battle, and by the way Africa is not in Continental Europe.

Answer 3

Kursk (southern Russia), was certainly the biggest tank battle in history. The Germans never stood a chance, but Hitler saw it as his last chance of winning the war.

I must correct Lee about his claim that Stalingrad was the first major battle that the Germans lost. That was the Battle of Britain in 1940. On the Eastern Front the critical battle of Moscow predated Stalingrad by some way. El Alamein in North Africa was another earlier victory.

Answer 4

The battle of Kursk in 1943. Some 6,000 Russian & German tanks and about 2 million men

Answer 5

Although the battle of Kursk is commonly believed to be the largest tank battle in history - Operation Desert Sabre (the ground phase of the first Gulf war) involved a larger number of tanks and armored fighting vehicles.

Answer 7

The Battle of Kursk in World War II when the Soviets, now Russians, defeated the Germans.

Answer 8

i must correct someone above, the Battle of Britain was a stalemate and by no means a major loss for the Germans. Relatively few planes and pilots were involved. The massive battles on the Eastern Front are not even on the same scale as all the western front battles combined.

Just to give you an idea of battle deaths on both sides check these out:
EASTERN FRONT:
Stalingrad: 1.8 million
Siege of Leningrad: 1.5 million
Moscow 1941-42: 700,000
Smolensk 1941: 500,000
Kiev 1941: 400,000
Vorenesh 1942: 370,000
Belarus 1941: 370,000
2nd Rzhev-Sychevka: 270,000
Caucasus 1942: 260,000
Kursk: 230,000
Lower Dnieper: 170,000
Kongsberg: 170,000
Rostov: 150,000
Budapest: 130,000
and others with less killed

Whereas on the Western Front
Battle of France 180,000
Normandy: 132,000
El Alamein: 70,000
Battle of the Bulge: 38,000



Not even on the same scale....do the math....
