About tanks (18 photos)
A selection of tanks of World War II.
Tank BT-7, the 35th year. Child Stalin doctrine of war in enemy territory. Possessed great speed (later modified with diesel V-2 up to 86 mph on wheels), could with the covers on wheels racing tracks behind enemy lines for European co-lo.
Had the nickname "Flying Tank" because for propaganda purposes, for newsreel make long jumps through ditches and streams. Successfully fought on Khalkhin-, stormed the Mannerheim Line in Finnish in the 45th finished off the Japanese. Good, beautiful machine, the forerunner of Thirty.
T-34 is recognized by all as the best tank of the 2nd World War, but the stress on the totality of all qualities, including mass production, ie, they greatly outnumbered the German T-III, but later in the battles with the Tigers and with self-propelled guns were carrying a very significant loss. Also called "peasant tank" because Even illiterate peasants (what basically amounted to the Red Army) could master the management and maintenance of this machine.
This T34-76, the former at the beginning of the war blind-deaf-mute Fortress. Overview of the tank's reviews veterans was woefully inadequate, radios, our tanks are not equipped (commanders were to be put out of the hatch and waving flags). Powder gases when firing fell inside the tank. The Germans were amazed by the extremely austere compartment swallows our crew. I write about the shortcomings in order to emphasize the heroism of our tankers.
Our handsome. View from the stern (it is hidden a great diesel V-2).
Light tank T-60. Made more of their opportunities in the Battle of Moscow.
SU-85 self-propelled installation on T-34 chassis. Tank Destroyer. Cheaper construction than the tank.
Tankers jokingly called self-propelled "spoiled tanks", but the contribution to the victory made an enormous ACS.
Panzerkampfwagen III - it is mostly seen in the sight of our gunners in the first half of the war. Was with a gasoline engine, light up when hit well! Ugh, yuck!
H-on! C-C-C-UCA!
And this stuff has been manufacturing the Czechs. And I remember this.
Artshturm StuG III - extremely dangerous bastard! Best German tanker SS Hauptsturmführer Michael Wittmann knocked out on such a machine a few dozen of our tanks. And all this scum (I must pay tribute to his combat skills) destroyed 138 Soviet, American and British tanks, 132 Soviet and American self-propelled artillery.
Fight the Nazis helped us Allied tanks. "Matilda" supplied under Lend-Lease British. Obsolete tank that did not conform to the modern doctrine of maneuver of armored warfare. Belching land dreadnoughts. Slowly crept across the battlefield, supporting infantry fire weak gun. Patency on narrow tracks was unsatisfactory, weight big, but good armor protection. When the tank was not enough, and such were happy.
Sherman. Promoted by the Americans almost to the level of the T-34, does not really compete with the German tanks on any parameter other than mass production. Americans simply overwhelmed the Germans on the Western Front Shermans, because to knock out one of the Tigris, required 3 - 4, and even more Shermans. When I was standing nearby, immediately thought: here! Gunner's Dream! Miss in this pyramid is simply impossible. Well, if you got - Kick. Armor did not hold a German 88mm shell, and once ignited gasoline engine. Accidents American Sherman tank crews compared with Zippo lighter in which at the time was the advertising slogan, something like: "ignited every time!».
IS-3 (Joseph Stalin) launched the series in the last days of the war, to war, he did not, but the car was terrible, there was the Soviet Army in the postwar years. Powerful 122mm gun and original, edge forward location of frontal armor plates.
I looked at these armored monsters and overwhelmed me (sorry for the pathos) boundless admiration our tank crews, those who turned in the best Nazi technique rusty fragments (based on staggered rollers - it was a Tiger)
Tank aces of the USSR:
1. Lt. Dmitry Lavrinenko (fought on the T-34, served in the 4th Tank Brigade) - destroyed 52 tanks and assault guns.
2. Art. Lieutenant Zinovii Kolobanov (KV tank, 1st Panzer Division) - 22 tanks.
3. Lieutenant Simon Konovalov (KV tank, the 15th Tank Brigade) - 16 + 2 armored tanks.
4-5. Lieutenant Alex strongman and Maxim Dmitriev - 11 tanks each.
6. Lieutenant Paul Hutz (KV tank, the 89th Independent Tank Battalion) - 10 tanks + 4 anti-tank guns.
7. Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Hazov (6th Tank Brigade) - 10 tanks.
8. Lieutenant Ivan Deputies (36th Tank Brigade) - 9 tanks + 2 + 3 assault guns APCs.
9. Sergeant Ivan Lyubushkin (T-34, 4th Tank Brigade) - 9 tanks.
10. Lieutenant Dmitry Sholokhov (158 Panzer Brigade) - 8 tanks.
Glory!
