Watch History Come Alive with New Panoramic Video
Tank Commanders,
Having released the “Virtually Inside the Tanks” series and “1941 Battle: 360° Reenactment”, we are now glad to share a new project: “War Knows No Nation” video in 360° format. Inspired by numerous stories of war veterans, this video will transport you into a sequence of historical events that occured in WWII. Follow the memories of 3 tankers and watch dynamic tank battles as we introduce CGI tank battles in panoramic format for the first time.
About the video
Filming involved 7 different locations in 4 countries: Russia, Belarus, USA, UK.
The video itself features 3 war veterans, all of whom were former tankers, including:
- Alexander Fen (Belarus) – retired Major General who served in the 84th and 31st Tank Brigades; took part in Stalingrad and Kursk battles
- Tom Sator (USA) – served in the 4th Armored Division; took part in battles in Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia.
- David Render (UK) - one of the very last surviving Second World War tank troop commanders to have participated in the D-Day landing; served in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry.
