COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
The T-34 was one of the most famous tanks
produced during WWII and was the mainstay of the Soviet Army during this
conflict. One of the key innovations introduced by the T-34 design was the
sloped armor at the front which guaranteed a higher degree of protection from
direct hits. The adoption of wide tracks provided excellent mobility on all
types of terrain, including mud and snow. The first version of the T-34 which
was armed with a 76 mm short barrel gun gained an immediate advantage over the
most common German tanks of the era, such as the Panzer III and the Panzer IV.
Due to its 12 Cylinders diesel engine, the tank was able to attain a maximum
speed of 55 Km/h. It was considered, in terms of sheer operational
effectiveness, the best tank of the Second World War.
