1 Tiger Tank vs. 50 Soviet Tanks (Battle of Kursk, 1943) |
|
Today we look at one of the most incredible stories I've ever heard from WWII about one German tank commander whose Tiger I tank was able to hold off 50 T-34 tanks and even destroy 22 of them during the Battle of Kursk in 1943. Franz Staudegger was also given the Iron Cross twice for his actions as a tank commander.
