July 1943. For six months, the German advance has stalled, but Hitler is convinced that his new generation of Nazi tanks will help put the Reich back on the path to European domination - his target: the Soviet town of Kursk. Through extraordinary archive footage - colorized for the first time - and firsthand accounts by those there, we tell the story of the greatest tank battle the world has ever seen, featuring gargantuan German Tigers facing off against hundreds of Russian T-34 tanks.

April 1945. The Soviets have gained control of Poland and have crossed the borders of Germany. The Nazis begin a desperate last stand, drafting in the old and the young to defend the capital of the Third Reich: Berlin. The Soviet assault on Berlin is the final, brutal chapter of the war in Europe. The greatest artillery barrage in history follows, including over a million Red Army troops and thousands of tanks. Rare newsreel and amateur footage, newly colorized, take us inside Hitler's crumbling empire and onto the front lines of the firefight for the streets of Berlin, a battle that will determine the fate of World War II.
