A good interesting read and an excellent assessment IMHO.

The T-34 was the Russian equivelant to the US Sherman and sheer weight of numbers made up for the deficiencies faced when facing superior/more capable German AFV's.

For example....the Sherman only became a true threat when armed with the Brit 17pdr but still lacked in armour protection.
