I believe Kursk is still the biggest tank battle ever. (I could be wrong. Tank battles aren’t my strong point)

Kursk was a large tank battle in the sense of the number of tanks. Yet it was really more like a World War One battle because of the high cost to take so few kilometers. Stalingrad from the perspective of Armor doctrine was really more of a tank battle because of the classic quick deep thrusts that the Russians pulled off to encircle the Germans in the greater Stalingrad area. The photo shows Germans in Kharkov, Ukraine in 1943. Its retaking was the last major city taken by Germans in WWII.
