Noteworthy:
T-34 Medium Tank was the most-produced & one of the best tanks of WWII. The T-34 had firepower, mobility & protection.
— it surpassed any other tank for ease of manufacture.
This Soviet tank was a major factor in repelling the German invasion of the USSR in 1943.
Pound for pound, perhaps Germany's Panther was a better tank, but the T-34 was produced at eight times the Panther's numbers.
Additional Notes:
Soviets fought and won armored battles in the same manner in which they won their infantry and air battles, by attrition. Their German opponents were simply overwhelmed by numbers. |
