Just watched this episode and love this show! Was really interesting to see how the hugely outnumbered German AFV's managed heroics in holding up overwhelming numbers of Russian Tanks and how the training of these Stug and Tiger crews helped slow the Russians in places even though in the bigger picture the Reich was doomed. the instances of two Stugs destroying and holding up far superior numbers of T34's was both brave and fascinating. And the incident in which Otto Carius in his Tiger and with another in tow charged into a Russian Town at top speed and surprised around twenty JS2's and with speed of gunnery destroyed evry single one of them. Astounding skill and bravery.
I thought it was quite easy to find WW1 relics in the fields of France and Belgium, but two reporters from the show were shown searching the woods and just stumbling across the side armour of a T34. Finally there was also excellent film of the recovery of a perfectly intact T34 complete with German markings on the turret, it looked like it had just gone in there! Great show.
