Description
The T-34: A Revolutionary Tank Design In June 1941, the German army launched Operation Barbarossa, expecting to easily defeat the Soviet Union's outdated tanks. However, it was met with a surprise when faced with the T-34, which proved to be more than a match for its opponents. Using original wartime documents, historian Peter Samsonov reveals how the Soviets developed this revolutionary tank design. The T-34's powerful gun and sloped armour made it a formidable opponent on the battlefield, earning it praise from German Field Marshal von Kleist as "the finest tank in the world". This book explores the origins of the T-34, shedding light on its development and significance during World War II.
