I stumbled upon a really interesting read on the T-34. Interesting in my eyes since i've always been fascinated with Tanks. Moreso in WW2, where these armored beasts took the stage with ferocious and deadly intent, other times with merely a whimper, no sooner rolling onto the battlefield than being reduced to scrap metal with one swoop of a well-organised Bomber group.
Anyway, what follows is a very-well written story of the Russian T-34, and later the T34/85, it's inception, from design to battlefield performance, production numbers and perhaps dispelling some common myths of this infamous Tank.
If you're into tanks like me, then this is worth a read:
