S1 E6: An epic tank battle between the Soviets and the Germans that turned the tide of the war on the Eastern Front. Aristocratic Field Marshall Erich von Manstein, Hitler's arch tactician, was eventually outwitted and out-fought by a rough and ready Soviet general from peasant stock, Marshal Georgy Zhukov. The Germans fought with the most powerful tanks of the war-- Tigers and Panthers backed up by the fearsome Elefant tank destroyer. But they were trapped in Soviet-built honeycomb of defences 150kms deep. Hitler's intervention finally determined the outcome.
