STALIN'S 'WONDER TANK': The Truth Behind Hitler's Nemesis, the Soviet T-34 Tank

1-252590

An examination of the T-34 tank myth, revealing its flaws, propaganda, and harsh wartime reality. Seeks to answer whether the T-34 was truly 'the finest tank in the world,' as the Germans described it. Suggests that it was not only part of Soviet propaganda, but also a way for the Germans to hide the consequences of Hitler's incompetent command and explain the collapse of Operation Barbarossa by the incredible resilience of Soviet soldiers, the appalling Russian winter, and by the 'vast superiority' of the T-34 tank. Reveals that the T-34 was actually based on plans 'borrowed' by designers in the West. Contains 60 mono illustrations.
