More about the book
This book covers Soviet medium tanks in WWII, specifically the T-28, T-34-76, T-34-85, and T-44. The T-34 and its variants formed the bulk of the Soviet tank force in the Great Patriotic War. Its speed, firepower, and mobility were superior to its German counterpart in the early stages of the war. The simple design of the T-34 tanks provided the Soviets with the numerical superiority that helped to halt the German advances and later turn the tide of the war. The T-34-85 fought alongside the IS-2 against the German heavy tanks towards the end of the war. The core of this book consists of over 100 new photographs, never before published, located in archives in Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. These photos are invaluable to modelers and historians alike.
