With Ōarai now welcoming their new boy contenders with open arms, and leavi...

The Battle of Kursk,
Chiyo knew she heard that name before, but she never knew it was a battle of this gargantuan magnitude!
Both sides had thousands of tanks,
If a battle with less then fifty like those in Sensha-dō, were exhilarating, thousands upon thousands of tanks clashing in open fields would be a sight to behold.
Of course she heard of tanks in war, but it was never seen as interesting before!
Many tanks she heard of before like the Tiger I and Panther had to fight massive swathes of Soviet, not Russian, built tanks,
Because apparently the Soviet Union wasn't just Russia, but actually a union of 15 smaller countries.
And somehow, they brought, not hundreds, BUT MILLIONS, of soldiers to a singular battle.
And the tanks fought alongside the masses of soldiers,
Fighting a tank as just an ordinary soldier must've been terrifying.
But Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had activated Order 227 which means that Soviet soldiers would get shot by superior officers if they attempted to run away.
She shook her head a little bit,
How could you be scared of something so feminine?
But there was endless footage of tanks being ridden and crewed by men....
And it was all old, and in seedy black and white photographs.
It was slightly surprising when you see just how old these tanks actually are.
The situations for which they were developed were actually quite various.
