I disagree. The tank battles of North Africa, the Italian Campaign, the hedgerow fighting in Normandy and the Ardennes in 18944 were far large the the Eastern Front.

Just for fun, cause I love history, and please do not take this as criticism or anything of the like, as I do not mean it in that manner at all. A quick look at Kursk and the Bulge, both fights over a salient. One eastern front one western.

Kursk
6,000 tanks
2 million men

Bulge
840 tanks
280,000 men

The fighting on the eastern front was on a different scale than anywhere else in WWII.
