A collection of six documentaries on the tank battles of World War Two. 'Tigers in the Desert' paints an intriguing picture of the deployment and use of armour in the desert war, drawing on archive footage, new animation and the views of armour authorities and tank veterans of WWII. 'The Battle for Kursk' looks at the greatest clash of armour in WWII, Operation Zitadelle. In 'The Fall of France', the role of the armoured forces on both sides in the dramatic battles which led to the great German victory in 1940 is traced. 'Barbarossa' tells the story of how Adolf Hitler was able to harness the potential of the tank to bring the mighty Soviet Union to her knees. 'The Ardennes Offensive' looks at the ill fated 'Battle of the Bulge', which was Hitler's last great gamble in the West during WWII. Finally, in 'Blitzkrieg', archive film and 3D graphics help tell the story of the creation and deployment of the Panzer Divisions.
