FALLEN GIANTS: The Combat Debut of the T-35A Tank

1-215400

The Soviet T-35A is the only five-turreted tank in history to enter production. With a long and proud service history on Soviet parade grounds, the T-35A was forced to adapt to the modern battlefield when WWII broke out.

Outclassed and outdated, the T-35A tried to hold its own against the German invaders to no avail. Very little is known about these strange vehicles, beyond their basic shape and photographs of them on parade grounds and battlefields. Battlefield photographs have been cross-referenced with maps and documents to bring about a complete look at the T-35A in WWII. It is a grim depiction of the aftermath of the giants that were the Soviet T-35A tanks.
