Tank Masters playing cards is the original deck created by Sviatoslav Pashchuk. It illustrates the bravest men and women, who fought in tank divisions during World War II. Cards depict not only people, but also the most popular tanks from that period.

In this project there are two types of decks: the Liberators Deck and the Invaders Deck.

These 2 decks represent 8 different countries that took part in World War II. The countries are divided into Invaders and Liberators according to the powers they belonged to, namely Axis and Allied powers. The only exception is USSR, which was included into the Invaders deck, as it was the aggressor in World War II towards Poland.

Historic state flags of 1940-1945 were used for Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks. They show the belonging of the hero or a tank to a particular country.

Both boxes are made in a style that resembles dashboards in tanks during the Second World War. I tried to recreate the kind of heavy equipment control panel with buttons and metal shields. The design represents decorative elements of oak leaves and bay leaves, as well as symbols worn on military forms of that period. On the back of the boxes there is a list of countries represented in each deck, as well as the Latin idiom.
