The Pakfront was a defensive military tactic developed by the German forces on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. Military tactics ( Greek: Taktikē, the art of organizing an army are the techniques for using weapons or military units in combination for engaging and defeating Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR was a constitutionally Socialist state that existed in Eurasia from 1922 to 1991 The Battle of Kursk (Курская битва refers to a series of German and Soviet operations on the Eastern Front of World War II
During the large Soviet armoured attacks on the Eastern front in late 1941–1942, the Germans quickly realised that their anti-tank guns, operating individually or in small groups, and with no central commander, were quickly overwhelmed by the numerical superiority of the Soviets. Anti-tank refers to any method of combating military Armored fighting vehicles notably Tanks The most common anti-tank systems
The pakfront was developed to counter this superiority. A group of up to ten guns were placed under the command of one officer. He was responsible to designate targets and direct the fire of his guns. This allowed the guns to spring effective anti-tank ambushes, with all guns being assigned separate targets and then firing at once, rather than engaging the enemy piecemeal.
The tactic was found to be extremely effective, and soon the Soviets had copied it, often using multiple pakfronts in co-operation with minefields, anti-tank ditches, and other obstacles to channel the enemy armour into their fields of fire.
