Mark the 80th Anniversary of VE-Day!

Commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Complete the Operation Postman PvE event and secure a unique camouflaged Chaffee, get Twitch Drops, enjoy discounts and missions, and watch a stream from The Tank Museum!

PvE Mode: Operation Postman

Start: May 6, 2025 at 03:00 PT | 05:00 CT | 06:00 ET
End: May 13, 2025 at 02:00 PT | 04:00 CT | 05:00 ET
May 1945. Germany has capitulated, but neither the German garrison in a castle nor the Allied troops preparing to storm it are aware of the latest developments. Step into the boots of a seasoned Allied tank commander, sneak through enemy territory, and finish the job you came here to do: inform the Allied forces that the war is already over!
 

Command Your Camouflaged Chaffee

Hop into a special Chaffee with Commander Smith and his international crew. Stop the unnecessary bloodshed: Use stealth and special crew skills to avoid patrols and cross the minefields. Complete one of the harder challenges of Operation Postman, and your trusty Chaffee will stay with you permanently. While it doesn't retain its special powers in Random Battles, this is still a highly capable vehicle—nimble, fast, and packing quite a punch for its size.
 
Awareness
The visibility is poor at night, so enemies can't identify you as a foe right away. You'll know you've been spotted when the lightbulb indicator is completely filled.
Minefields
All approaches to the castle are blocked by dense minefields. Explore the enemy base, find command posts, and search for maps that could reveal a safe path.
Ability: Scout Around
Send Capt. Dubois on reconnaissance to a specified location to gather key intel on enemy positions. The vehicle remains stationary while he's away.
Ability: False Order
Have Gefreiter Keller use the captured German radio to transmit a false order, directing nearby German tanks to investigate a specified location.
