Greetings, Comrades! This time, we talk about THE most famous tank, this side of the iron curtain. The thing that won the battle of Kursk. The tank that everyone in this part of the planet instinctively thinks of, when someone asks them to think about the default “tank”.
Also, pictured below, as mentioned in the show, Fourth Monetary-Material Goods Lottery ticket, “mandatory-voluntary” deducted from your salary, worth 25 roubles (of 1940’s money), used to fund the mass production of the tanks.

Great show EB! So nice to hear a true account of the T-34. Yeah, you should do the Panther definitely, a direct response by the Germans to the t-34.
Hey, your discussion of the t34 left me thinking about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Tank which comes up every year when I teach WWI. I would love to know more about this monstrosity, or even find a clear picture of it!
Thanks for the hard work and the great show.
