I only got it right because I found that out just a few days ago in a French documentary called "Age of Tanks" on Netflix. Incredible

I have reported this question four time. But it keeps coming up so I thought I would quess any answer and got the right wrong answer. The answer is wrong it’s the little know Battle of BRODY. Look it up

I can't believe I got this right. I guess I'm smarter than most 11 year olds.

Battle of Prokhorovka (part of Battle of Kursk) 12 July 1943. Known as the largest tank battle in military history, the Battle of Prokhorovka saw 800-850 tanks of the Soviet army line up against the significantly smaller force of the Germans

Battle of the Bulge was mainly an infantry fight.
