The authors explore the antecedents of the T-34, the ill-fated BT fast tank series, and the influence of the traumatic Spanisch Civil War before moving ton an in-depth look at the T-34’s prototypes. After this, every factory production change is detailed, with never-before-seen photographs and stunning technical drawings.
Furthermore, four battle stories are also integrated to explain the changing battle context when major production changes take place. The production story is completed with sections on the T-34’s post-war production (and modification) by Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the People’s Republic of China as well as the T-34 variants.
An excellent reference book for military modellers, historians and tank wargamers interested in the T-34 with authentic camouflage livery.
