Amazing! It’s some of my old Kursk scenes come to life!

Where did this come from??? So many History Channel docos would have killed to use some of this footage. Clearly the Germans weren’t short of running T34’s, they wrecked about a dozen of them. Overall extremely realistic, and as training films of the era go this was so impressive, makes the Brit versions look like the unintentional comedies some were.

The demolition at 22.30 is giving me long-dormant ideas.

Gentleman, glad I found this and you are enjoying it.

@BootsDMS I do not mind at all. Glad that this opened up a chance for you to post and equally fascinating video.
