Generals at War 2of6 The Battle of Kursk [1080p] (x264)

[Farid]

As commanders from the great battles of WWII go head-to-head on the battlefield, they attempt to outwit and outfight each other with strategic moves in a game of skill, bluff and counterbluff. With the lives of thousands of men at risk, the generals' reputations hanging in the balance, the stakes are impossibly high and the pressure is on.
This exciting series for National Geographic adopts a fresh approach to the great battles of World War Two, examining them through the decisions, dilemmas and disasters of the generals on both sides of the conflict. We explore their moves and countermoves as they attempt to outwit and outfight each other.
Major battles in human history reconstructed by generals, weapons specialists and historians. From the Battle of Stalingrad to the desert war of El Alamein to the famous Battle of Midway: military strategists put themselves in the shoes of the commanders at the time in order to analyze their tactics. In addition, the experts also shed light on the personalities and special characters of the former adversaries. This is the only way to accurately understand key decisions and moves on the battlefield.
Each episode tells the story of a battle through the eyes of two opposing generals. Two modern day military specialists, often generals themselves, get inside the heads of their historical counterparts to unpick their strengths and weaknesses. A team of experts out in the field compare and contrast the hardware each general had at his disposal.
In a dramatic device, a war-time bunker becomes the setting for these epic conflicts. As the generals face off across the battle map the action comes alive in CGI: soldiers march across the table, tanks blast away at each other and planes fly overhead.
What is known about the equipment of the armies involved in the battle? How were the balance of power distributed, and what tactic ultimately brought the decisive advantage? The documentary series "Generals at War" examines what circumstances ultimately determined victory or defeat in major military conflicts.
The battles featured -- Singapore, El Alamein, Kursk, Stalingrad, Midway and The Bulge -- are key turning points in the progress of the war, and the generals featured include some of the most charismatic military leaders of all time: Rommel, Model, Montgomery, Chuikov, Yamashita and von Manstein.
The show was awarded the prize for Most Innovative Production at the 2010 History Makers Awards.

2) The Battle of Kursk
1943 - Germany and Russia clash near the Soviet city of Kursk, as each vies for control of the Eastern Front. The Germans are led by Field Marshal Erich von Manstein - an aristocratic master tactician. Facing him is the Red Army's Marshal Zhukov - ruthless, opinionated and dangerous to know.
Hitler is convinced new super-weapons like the Tiger tank will win the fight and insists von Manstein hold off his attack until more arrive. Zhukov exploits the delay and orders his men to dig for victory. They create an elaborate network of defences to grind the enemy down - or blow them up...
The two armies finally meet in a titanic clash of tanks - the biggest tank battle of all time - which will change the course of the war.
