On July 12th, 1943, two armored giants collided in the fields near Kursk. But what happened at Prokhorovka? We’ve explored this pivotal moment before on the Main World War Two Channel but never like this. In this first episode of TimeGhost Cartographic, we bring you the legendary clash between Paul Hausser’s II SS Panzer Corps and Pavel Rotmistrov’s 5th Guards Tank Army, told entirely through animated historical maps.
November, 1950. A force of US Marines, US Army troops, and British commandos find themselves cornered around a remote mountain lake deep in North Korea. With over 100,000 Communist Chinese troops bearing down on them, victory is no longer a possibility, but escape just might be. But can they make it? In our second episode, follow the frantic retreat, the desperate fighting, and the clamor for survival, from the most daunting peaks to the most treacherous valleys of South Hamgyong Province, one map at a time. This is the defining battle of the Korean War. This is the Chosin Reservoir.
